~ Toad Wet Specimen & Replica Replica ~

It was such a pleasure working with a nice small group for a change

As usual, it was a jammed packed weekend learning the process of Toad dissection, colouring important anatomy structures of the specimen and preserving them as a wet specimen for display.

We also, got to work on a selection of native reptile, creating mold and cast of the individual specimen using oil paints to bring them back to life.

Everyone attention to detail and efforts weren't unnoticed.

Thanks to everyone participating, hope to work with you all very soon.

This species is such a pleasure to work on, found as a MVA specimens from Armadale a few yeas back, collected by who was eager to have her taxidermied.

Prior to completing her she seemed like she was missing something so the addition of a fruit certainly brought it all together.

Very happy to have done this piece for 🖤

Pet preservation.

Its always such delicate work processing people's pets.

It wasn't until skinning this cockatiel i had noticed the stitching carried out by the vets.

Merry had Necropsies prior to me working on her.
She had two of her feather tacks removed and damaged feathers caught throughout the stitching.

This presented further challenges recreating a natural mount her parents would be happy with.

Such a sweet display. It was a pleasure to work on her.
