Large butterfly frame drying off! With thanks to my tiny hands for supporting the wing of the middle one 😂 the glass just needs a good scrub when everything is dried :) This is for sale!

Getting to work on some vintage bearded vulture restoration today. A very old display piece that I acquired from a museum!

Here is a little aviary bird skull I cleaned up a while ago. It's set in a cute lil 1.5 inch tall dome with a romantic rose and some reindeer moss that compliment it! A must-have for the lil weirdo in your life. This is £10 plus postage.

I have the absolute privelege to work one of the most amazing and prehistoric looking birds in the world... Can you guess what it is?

Hi everyone!
I've listed a lovely budgie that I mounted this year for sale as an auction on eBay just to test the waters. Happy bidding :)

I'll be at Flaxton Ptootch Art Gallery this evening selling a few bits at Monstrous! - Joni Belaruski Art Exhibition Private View.
Come down, say hi, look at some beautiful macabre art that will fill the hole where your heart is supposed to be!

I'm selling this lovely magpie I finished recently.
It sits on a bespoke wooden base and I've added some orange reindeer moss which I think compliments the blues of the magpie itself. The moss can be removed if you prefer.
Magpies have so much personality. This would make a nice unusual gift for someone you love or something to add to your own taxidermy collection!
... This piece is £75 which includes First Class UK postage.

Today I put together this little sleepy mouse on a bed of colourful reindeer moss. I may tweak this so you can see the mouse a bit more but for now it will hang on my wardrobe :)
The mouse was a "gift" from the neighbour's cat.

I'm selling these adorable miniature paper cranes at my Etsy. <3
Something for you if you're not so keen on taxidermy but like unusual (and very small) gifts!

Christmas has come early! I got in touch with my local Wildlife Rescue and they gave me a boat load of animals for taxidermy. Serious respect for how well everything was run and how much work they put in to the injured animals that come to them.
Sadly it's not always a happy ending of rehabilitation but that's where I can come in! A few of these animals will go back to the rescue for Educational purposes; some kept in my own collection and some sold on to other natural history nerds like me.

Happy Saturday!
Papilio pericles, this is currently for sale.

I have this fox cub foot keyring I've put together today.
The fox was sadly roadkill in Bristol from last winter. I've preserved the feet, fur and skull of the cub. Very cute!
This will be up for sale on my Etsy this week.

A progress photo of the crow I'm working on in an art collaboration. He's occupying my broom until I figure out how to make him free-hanging!
