@airali_gray ‘s #amigurumay2021 Day 27 - Shapes For me, the rounder the better. I’m also super interested in paleoanthropology and I was lucky enough to see the original Venus of Willendorf in Vienna, in @nhmwien (The best museum I’ve ever been to!!) I could also buy a real size replica there, and when I put the statuette next to an amigurumi, I had goosebumps. Some patterns don’t change much.

Extinct Tasmanian Tiger (Thylacine) at the Natural History Museum of Vienna. The last known specimen died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936. (at NhM Naturhistorisches Museum Wien)

This is a reproduction of a Terror Bird (Paraphysornis brasiliensis), an ancient bird much bigger than you. ‘Reproduction work’ is something taxidermists or other artists commonly do for museums by working alongside scientists and researchers. While this guy was created from turkey feathers and artificial parts, his anatomy is based on fossil molds and tons of research. I only wish I knew who made this beauty! (at NhM Naturhistorisches Museum Wien)

So. Many. Birds. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ornithological taxidermy collection this vast and complete before. Much of the work, old and new, is very impressive as well. I was in heaven.

Natural History Museum of Vienna. I was impressed by the beauty of the displays and the shear number of specimens. Some very impress bird work as well. (at NhM Naturhistorisches Museum Wien)
