Whereas some people consider taxidermy to be a cruel, sick hobby we believe it's a tribute to dead animals. Like a form of art, preserving the beauty of animals. And restoring their dignity.
Can you name a famous taxidermist? Me neither. When most people think of taxidermy, they think of dead animals hanging on a dark wood walls, but at the World Taxidermy Championships founded in 1983, the participants are trying to be accepted in the art world and see their creations recognised alongs

Art takes many forms and uses a variety of media. A skilled artist can make a thing of beauty out of any available material, including dead animals. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and many beginners think they are a skilled artists. That's why we have a range of "art" that includes not only masterful results, but also bizarre artifacts from our nightmares and other objects we just can't figure out at all. Among taxidermy projects on the internet, you'll find all
For centuries, animals have been preserved for sport, religion or tradition. Taxidermy grew in popularity in the UK during Victorian times, and it has seen a resurgence recently.

A bizarre collection of stuffed animals that was broken up and sold around the world seven years ago has been reassembled for a one-off exhibition. The eccentric works of Victorian taxidermist Walter Potter, where stuffed animals mimic human life, were sold for more than £500,000 in 2003. Celebrities including comedian Harry Hill, photographer David Bailey and artist Peter Blake snapped up pieces from the 10,000-item collection in Mr Potter's eerie Museum of Curiosities

Have your own little zoo A very hot trend in interior design is very cold dead animals. I personally can't get enough of this look. Mounted heads and antlers and real zebra skin rugs have been around for years. But recently, dead peacocks have become a popular look with interior designers. I especially like using dead stuffed animals in the entryway to greet your guests or in the dining room to whet the appetite. Here is a picture gallery to inspire you. I love the dead animals even more when they are dressed up in hats, jewelry, monocles, bows, unicorn horns, even your wedding dress. A brilliant idea is to cut up and sew together dead animals, especially baby ones, to create fantasy dead animals as wall art. So chic!!!! The mounted baby dead animals would be so fabulous in a nursery or child's room - the stuff of dreams. I mentioned last week that flamingos are the next big thing in interior design - I can't wait to see a dead stuffed flamingo in someone's home - so much more tasteful than the plastic yard ones. Make sure to pop over to The Glam Pad today to see my virtual makeover of the living room in the Chinese Village House. My new April Ideabook on Houzz is on Flamingos - please go check it out too.

Ferry van Tongeren believes that there are two types of people in the world: those who like dead animals, and those who don’t.
A new breed of taxidermists are rebooting the practice with classes and books that show you how. But can the act of stuffing a dead animal ever be ethical?
Some people collect stamps, others collect newspaper clippings (perhaps even toenail clippings), and some even collect humans skulls and skins and penis castings. All collections must have a beginning. Perhaps they are sparked from an indescribable fascination, or a love for something unique or odd. Is it a peculiar form of classification, or even a

These bizarre images show the exhibits from a Victorian museum, which included dioramas of squirrels playing cards, birds at a funeral and a goat-riding monkey.
Photographer Lori Pond has produced an amazing series of prints that recreate figures and tableaux from the Hieronymus Bosch paintings “The Last Judgment,” “The Temptation of St. Anthony,” and “The Garden of Earthly Delights.” The painter’s unsettling visions fit well with much of Pond’s dreamlike work, such as her tintypes that recall the grotesque surrealism of Frederick Sommer and Joel-Peter Witkin, or her dark, brooding, and massively disquieting images of taxidermied animals baring their fangs. What’s remarkable, though, about the Bosch series, is just how much for these images was accomplished in-camera, before digital editing. In an interview with Create, Pond revealed the work that went into crafting these images: “I hired a prosthetics designer to create the iconic ‘Bosch snout’ and legs and tail in one image, and a propmaster to make the life-size boat in Bosch Redux 4.0. My taxidermy teacher gave me some crows’ feet, and I got my friends not only to model for me, but also to help with the prop building, wardrobe, and makeup that went into every image. Most resulting photographs are made in camera, apart from some exceptions when I didn’t want to string up a woman in...
