"Hi, I'm flawed ... But I'm charming!'

Found this little fella in a box in my storage. Vaguely remember him coming in as a pelt, me not being happy with the results and then never getting around to painting him.

So...I've painted him and given him a wash and a look over. He's not perfect, but he does have his charm. I will list flaws below but do message me and I'm happy to send more pictures and a video. My cats are usually £450-520...this chap will be £350, postage included due to a few issues.

* Bald spot on chin. Tried to photograph but die to his colour it's hard to show. In my opinion, not that noticeable as it's on his lower chin but I like to be honest.

* Error on my side: legs are less than ideal. He sits free standing, but the back leg sticks out a bit and he does lean to the side. Maybe I was drinking making the form on this one huh? It is one of my older mounts so try and forgive me.

* Fur: nothing wrong with him: it's clean, he's ginger ..just in summer change coat so not looking his most luxurious

*Back cut: gosh I hate back cuts, simply because getting the fur to stick straight where you've seen along the spine is difficult. I usually belly cut, but I didn't skin this fella.. in this case, his fur sticks up a little on his spine.

*Neck is a little long from the back.

I am probably being too harsh on myself, just not a mount I was happy with and was from back when I was learning to cast forms. He's tanned properly, mounted up and has a lovely wry expression. Plus, he's now been painted.

Discounted kitty, £350 to your door

Look how tiny he is. Always tragic when they pass so young, but I take genuine comfort that hopefully, long after we ourselves all pass on, he will still be here having people admire him and spark conversation.

I’ve been slowly getting back into the swing of things and rekindling my passion for my art. Health can sometimes knock you down and set things back even long after you have recovered, and taxidermy, being such a fine-tuned, intricate art form with a lot of pressure (especially with pets!), deserves every ounce of passion, enthusiasm, and effort one can muster.

My goal this year is to fully embrace my artistic side once again. I am truly blessed in life. I have a beautiful home that I adore, which I share with the love of my life, who couldn’t be more supportive and caring if he tried. I have a wonderful mother, fantastic friends who always bring a smile to my face, and my furry menagerie: two cats, two ferrets, and the rest of my not-so-fluffy, lizard crew. I’m also heading to Japan soon to fully indulge in my shameless love for Pokémon and My Hero Academia 😆. There’s so much to be grateful for, but at times, the pressures of a not-so-supportive community can take the joy out of what I love doing.

I’ve been working on commissions, sorting through my personal collection, and finishing up half-completed projects. I hope to be all caught up soon and ready to start working on passion projects and tackling my freezers. If you’re waiting on something from me, don’t worry—I haven’t forgotten! I’m working hard to ensure everything is completed to the highest standard. As an apology for any extended wait times, I will be covering postage for those who have waited longer than estimated.

To wrap things up, I just want to say a genuine thank you to everyone who has supported me. At the end of the day, I’m just an animal lover and artist who enjoys giving new life to things that would otherwise decay. The warmth and kindness of this community mean the world to me, and I truly cherish it. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead—I hope you’ll continue to follow my journey.

Much love,
Missy x

Little kitten, roughly 8-9 weeks old.

Little note about me: sorry for radio silence. Die to health and other 'life' situations, I've taken a step back. However next few weeks I am having a clear out of my personal mounts and half finished projects in storage. I won't be taking on commissions while I work through those who are waiting. Not disappeared! Just getting into bed right space to put my all into the projects people are waiting on as I want to put my all into them.

A closer look at the little teatime mice. All are fully tanned, have had their ears turned and will not shrivel or alter over time like cheaper borax mice. £450 for the lot, or if not gone will sell £90 per mouse with postage included.

Tea is stained resin. Milk is stains resin. Sugar is artificial. Standing mouse with tea cup has a tiny bit of crystallisation on the resin (more pics on request. Lovely little set, wish I had somewhere better to display them in my own collection

All 5 mice and coffee pot (minus tray) available. From my personal collection but finding it difficult to display them nicely where the cats won't destroy them.

The cups are filled with tea coloured resin, sugar pot with fake sugar and milk jug with resin as well. Cute little group!

£450 posted anywhere in the UK. Postage additional for overseas.

Something very much out of my comfort zone! All these lambs were sadly dead upon birth due to the severe birth defects they had developed. This trio is off to an oddity museum and collector in Canada, and as such they are posed to be visually interesting. In reality, these would never have been able to stand up, and the spider lamb had it's neck fused to its rib cage so would not have been able to raise its head. In the spirit of 'art' though, here they are in all their weirdness.

If people are interested, I will post more pictures individually of these in the coming days.

Powering through commissions! If you are waiting on me, rest assured they are being worked on. With pets especially though, they take a considerable amount of extra time.

Cute little caterpillar gracing the branch of the mink case.

If you'd like this on eBay, let me know. eBay keep taking my listing down claiming that it needs CITES...mink definitely don't need cites! Fighting it but not the easiest to get hold of anyone on there, but I can always list it as a custom listing if there is interest
