I got a whole lotta projects lined up. I just need the time and money to actually do them.

Anyway, here’s a partial deer pelt I collected from a roadkill doe. Tanned and stretched out on a thrifted wardrobe mirror frame. I really like how it turned out, now if only I had the wall space to actually display it…

Despite being in the vulture culture community for a long time- I ain’t ever actually caped a deer before. Mostly because roadkill is my main source of supply, and I didn’t get a freezer until a few years ago.

Imagine my surprise when my mom called me up saying there was a deceased doe in our neighborhood.

Anyways, the entire process of getting this little lady preserved involved lots of blood, sweat, and tears. Mainly blood though. Many of her insides have been preserved, her pelt tanned(which can be seen in a previous post), and as you can see here- her head mounted and displayed. While processing her carcass, a friend and I discovered she was pregnant. Next week is when the preservation of her fawn will be fully complete and ready for display.

There are plenty of things in this form that I can improve on, but over all I am happy with the result. I have learned so much and I cannot wait to apply it to my next animal. Though she had a rough life, I hope I can give her and her baby a beautiful death :)) I am taking name requests if anyone has some.

Shout out to @bigolbuzzard for helping me get her into the truck!
