#as well as vulture culture

[llyfrenfys]

So I'm gonna come out and say I'm working on a Mari Lwyd related project right now. I have no idea how it's going to turn out but I'm having fun doing it!

Picture of a genuine horse skull I own for tax:

i have an idea for a character design but what animals are usually associated with medicine??? the most common answer i got was snake, but i also thought of lab rats/mice, rabbits etc

#snake has the longest history with medicine especially since its shown on the rod of asclepius and the myths around venom #i also didnt know this but their shedding skin is referenced as symbols of rebirth and growth while their appearance resembles an #umbilical cord which gives it a really strong connection to health in some cultures.. although if i had to think abt modern medicine and #pharmacies the first thing i think of is white lab mice like pinky and the brain. for some reason i also thought of rabbits #bc of how its used for anti animal testing logos but thats more loose. however i did learn that the jade rabbit is shown to #use a pestle and mortar to create medicine in some stories so that could work...???? but its not as well known i think #i also thought of possums but that was more of an irony thing. same for bats but both are ironically really resistant to disease and act #as carriers. a death symbol like vultures or ravens/crows might work with a plague doctors mask but i feel #like that isnt the vibe im going for. black cat would be interesting considering superstition but im also on the fence abt that #actually what else is associated with medicine?? normally its stuff like pills crosses bandaids syringes etc #doctors coats and gloves.. especially plague doctor masks or medical masks in general but not much else huh #hand sanitizer and tissues.. pill bottles... blue nurse uniforms.. gauze and casts with signed names... hmmmm/......... #nurse dresses..??? sure?? i also see scalpels and knives but thats more for like. horror doctors for scary stories #im going for cute maybe even regular ass doctor vibe. like harvey sdv. or tony tony chopper #yapping

Anyone wanna buy some skulls? I'm not gonna have enough money by the 1st to pay my rent, so I'm kinda selling all my shit... I have almost entirely North American mammals, but I have a baboon, too (featured below)

Male chacma baboon. He's missing one tooth, which I replaced with a charoite stone forever ago. I have to degrease him every few years because he's a nasty boy (like, the skull will be white and slowly gets greasy again over time, which is lame). Open to offers, as I don't know what he's worth. Very good monkey boy, I just need money more than I need skulls right now...

Not really interested in parting with my pathological skulls since those are my favorites, but if you're looking for anything specific, hit me up, because I probably have one or two. I also have tons of dogs in various conditions.

it seems i may finally be on the rise, health-wise, and i've been able to get a couple batches in the tan! i had to bow out of the optimistic goal show i signed up for next month because i definitely will not be able to have enough inventory, but i may update the shop soon 👀

#taxidermy #vulture culture #pelts #rabbit pelt #hide tanning #wish i could have done more over winter because i didn't have a lot of kits on the ground #so i coulda cleared out some freezer space #but oh well. i'm just glad i can sorta function #it was really rough there for a few months but i've been doing pretty well the last week

I came across the remains of a bit of a scuffle while looking for whittling sticks. Hoping I can clean them up a bit and use one in my hat :]

#crowcore #cottagecore #vulture culture #i found a few pieces of bone as well #we'll see if i can't make something out of them

[moist-pegging-champion]

if you find a human jaw on the ground you may as well take it, the person clearly isnt using it and is too dead to object

How do you source your animals?

Hello!

All my animals are brought to me by hunters. I do commercial taxidermy, so the customer brings me their animal and I return it to them as a taxidermied specimen. I don’t keep the majority of what I mount.

For my personal projects I either scavenge roadkill or buy specimen from other taxidermists.

#If you’re concerned about the legal side since I just posted a pic with five whitetail heads #each deer is recorded with the Hunter’s license and place of harvest and kept for record #each specimen is recorded onto a Wildlife Resource Document that allows me to legally store and possess the specimen as part of my service #i have a Migratory Bird Permit that allows for the storage and processing of all legally obtained game birds #if you’re concerned about the animals being hunted well…sorry but 99% of taxidermists only work on hunted game #it is what it is I’m afraid #deer talks #ask #taxidermy #vulture culture #taxidermist
