Taxidermist horror stories 😭

Trying to make delicate butterfly dome displays while a giant wasp repeatedly flies beside your workstation… when you’re extremely allergic… and your EpiPen is at home.
You can literally see me trying to decide if I should continue pinning insects or start emotionally preparing for death 😌

Well… somebody is ready for Abbotsford.

This little rabbit will be joining us at our Oddities, Taxidermy & Curio Pop-Up Shop this weekend and I have a feeling she won’t be around for long.

We’ll be bringing a van full of taxidermy, oddities, curiosities, specimens, artwork and all kinds of wonderful weirdness.

If you’ve been meaning to come see our work in person, this is the weekend.
