Amazing! I would love to learn from her xD
Carl Akeley would be more than pleased to see students at a school like GCA doing taxidermy!
Small birds are some of the hardest things to do well, so this is not exactly taking the easy route to learning--all the more impressive!. My one criticism is that the feathers need to be better pinned while the mounts are drying. Of course, good pinning is much easier said than done.
If they haven't already been looked into, some of the older books can be particularly helpful with this kind of thing, e.g. John Rowley, Leon Pray, etc. Along different lines, WASCO sells a DVD with Dave Luke showing techniques for wrapping bodies that might also be useful. Again, just in case they haven't already been looked into.
Hope to see more taxidermy posts as things progress. Best of luck!
Way to go, Becca!
Your Mom
Way to go, Becca!
This is beautiful! I'm actually currently producing a film entitled, DEAD ZOO. After visiting a bar in Canada and seeing a pair of taxidermy tigers fighting, I began working on the screenplay that would eventually become DEAD ZOO. It depicts a world where Bodies and Machines merge. A prosthetic love story about what it means to be human, and what it means to be alive. Now, I'm finally making this film - you can check out the full synopsis, concept art photos/video and crew here: http://www.indiegogo.com/DEADZOO?a=1091407
We have an Oscar-nominated 3D character artist working on the 3D graphics! We also have a myriad of CRAZY perks for contributing, including your own taxidermy animal!!
Please take a peak and pass the word. Thank you!
