Sometimes I pick up random work to put a little extra money in my pocket when my schedule slows down. The last 2 days I worked at Union Hall in Brooklyn. Apparently, one of the owners there is really into taxidermy, and has a few cases with specimens in them, along with some bones, fossils, etc. A favorite was this two-headed chick...
That
got me into thinking how neat it would be to learn a little about
taxidermy, if I could stomach it. I feel like I'm not too squeamish when
it comes to dead animals, though, so I could tough it out. A quick
search on the interwebs came up with a gallery in the Gowanus section of
Brooklyn, Observatory,
that offers an anthropomorphic mouse taxidermy class. In fact, it is
so popular and sells out so fast, they have to keep adding more
sections due to the demand. Who knew so many people in NYC were into
that?! Here are a few anthropomorphic mice to carry you through the
rest of your Wednesday afternoon...
