Marissa's Adventures in Taxidermy

Finally finished up that gorgeous bobcat!

Just jarred up this diaphonized baby bunny

Once you finish high school you can decide wether you want to go on to college or even a Taxidermy school. Life can change a lot from the beginning of high school to the end, so try your best and don’t be too worried if you get sidetracked. There’s always going to be time to dive into taxidermy wether you’re 14 or 40. Good luck! You can always message me if you need some help!

Thank you! Most things I do are commission based, so I don’t often have spare projects up for sale. If you have a coyote and you’d like to have one commissioned I can absolutely do that! Just send me an email at [email protected] :)

Working on a kitty! Huge female, I love her.

Mounting a springbok pedestal. He was aaaaalmost too small for the form, had to do some small alterations, but he made it!

2018 has been an absolutely insane year, and I’m almost to a point where I can spill my big announcement. Not quite there yet, but very soon. I hope everyone has a happy and healthy 2019, especially those who had a less than stellar year. Cheers and a big thank you to every single person who follows me, I appreciate it immensely ❤️

Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Sometimes I do cleaning and mount debugging jobs for people and it is amazing to see what antique pieces people own. Feels so bizarre and wrong to be cleaning polar bear rugs and pre-mbta raptors!

This is Egore. He was a very loved pet jenday conure who passed away this year. Egore was known to be a cocky little bird with an attidude, so his family wanted him mounted with his head tilted to show off his personality.

A couple months ago John stopped to pick up a fawn that was hit by a car for me and I just got around to skinning him. I am deeply saddened and honored at the same time to have opportunities like this. He’s actually quite large, so it’s definitely going to be a challenge when I get around to mounting him!

Ok so this gray fox pedestal is in my opinion the nicest mount I’ve done so far in my career. Super proud of her!

Just two blackbuck hanging out. Blackbuck are known as the Indian antelope or even more informally: the emo antelope
