Severed head goodness from the weekend!

Also a tip for taxidermy beginners: this is how I like to start in on my rabbit & rodent faces. Separate the lower lip tissues starting around the bottom incisors and work back until you reach the front corner of the eye and bridge of nose. Then switch back to skinning from the case cut or other main incision.

TODAY'S TAXI-TIPS ~

These are a few of the most important things required when I begin working on a urethane foam taxidermy mannequin. The Static Guard spares me a lot of headache as I rasp and sand the urethane foam. It helps keep my tools, clothing, hands, and the mannequin as dust-free as possible while I work. In addition to measuring and tracing an animal's carcass to create my armatures, I also save the legs in most situations. The bones are defleshed but still held together by tiny amounts of residual tissue. Retaining them is useful in two scenarios; They can be used as a visual reference while sanding urethane foam legs to insure the correct shape is achieved. Alternately, I will sometimes use the bones in the construction of my armature rather than shaping urethane foam legs. In this latter "old-school" method the leg bones get completely cleaned, lashed onto the wire armature, then the wire and bone are tightly wrapped to one another with twine and flax roving until the correct leg shape is achieved. Also pictured is my go-to reference book; "An Atlas of Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Wilhelm Ellenberger. This is thee most important book I own. It's a must-have item for anyone sculpting an animal. It contains diagrams of skeletons and musculature, as well as detail drawings of feet, head, eyes, legs, and joints. Regardless of which method you use to create a taxidermy armature, an understanding of an animal's skeletal structure is absolutely essential.

Beginning processing on this beautiful chocolate dwarf rabbit. Its pelt is spoken for, but the feet & head will make their way to my etsy shop eventually. A natural farm death, I learned from its original keeper that the carcasses are donated to a mastiff rescue group :3

New Class! April 27th I'll be teaching Rabbit Taxidermy at @noirartsandoddities here in Kansas City. In this class you'll learn the entire process of how to create a rabbit shoulder mount on a hanging plaque. We'll be covering the entire process from skinning, fleshing and preserving to mounting the skin, positioning the ears and facial features, and finishing techniques. Students that have taken my beginner's taxidermy class will enjoy delving further into the focus of this class, though no experience is necessary and all experience levels are welcomed. You'll leave class with your completed rabbit and the knowledge and confidence to create future mounts. Tickets go on sale this Friday 3/22 at 8am through Eventbrite. Click "Get Tickets" on my Instagram page to get there. 🐇 . . . #taxidermyclass #taxidermy #learntaxidermy #taxidermyrabbit #whiterabbit #easterbunny #noirartsandoddities #kcworkshop #kcclasses #learnsomethingnew #kansascity #kcmo (at Kansas City, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvPPHNDn2QW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d2o4aowtf4vw

Organizing trout donations, pic from yesterday. I want to trying making some skin mounts with at least a few of them, so I took the time to wrap each one up in a strip of old, wet T-shirt, bag, and label individually. 2 brook, 2 brown, 3 rainbow. Also busted out the digital camera for some quick & crude reference photos. They had lost some color by the time I got home, but it’ll be better than nothing for these little hatchery beebs….

I made some experimental ear liners, using the plastic from a pink bubble tea straw. Also, watch my instagram story for a quick video of the skinned out bunny carcass. Its hide is now pickling, going to construct a body tomorrow.
