The only blog about animals (taxidermied), ice cream, illustrations, creepiness, Oprah Winfrey, and Mary-Kate Olsen. I have a pretty broad spectrum of interests, but there are very specific themes that string together what appeals to me, creatively. Real things that look fake. Fake things that look real. Real fake things. Fake real things. Whimsy.
I’ve unwittingly posted a couple taxidermy pieces by Angela Singer before, and was extremely drawn to them because of her mixed media additions to them. The animals are embellished with rhinestones, beads, ceramic flowers, jewelry, and sometimes even other animals, transforming a taxidermy piece into a whimsical creature idol.
