One of the true talents of a skilled taxidermist is to recreate nature in it’s natural state or as close to natural as they can get it. Years ago animals that where mounted were either put into a plain case or on a wall and that was it. Nowadays demands are greater and expectations are higher. Taxidermy competitions now specialise in wildlife scenery that looks so real that you’d think you were right there in the African plains witnessing nature at its best first hand. #taxidermistsofinstagram #taxidermycollection #taxidermista #taxidermystudio #taxidermy #taxidermist #taxidermycompetition #wildlife #wildlifetaxidermy #animaltaxidermy #liontaxidermy #africa #africanplains #taxidermistlife #taxidermyart #taxidermylife #cottagetaxidermy #stuffedanimals #competition #taxidermytuesday #bristoltaxidermy #blog #blogger #influencer #bristolinfluencers #bristolblog #bristolblogger #mountedanimals #africanwildlife #africananimals (at Chipping Sodbury, South Gloucestershire) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw400QCH6yy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bppzpfli8f5t

Some more snaps taken yesterday at the Bristol museum and art gallery. Most of these exhibits are from the Victorian era. It’s amazing how well they have kept. #taxidermistsofinstagram #bristoltaxidermy #taxidermylife #influencer #taxidermy #taxidermist #taxidermistlife #victorian #victoriantaxidermy #cottagetaxidermy #bristolmuseum #naturalhistory #wildlife #animals #animaltaxidermy #stuffedanimals #blog #blogger #bristolinfluencers #taxidermyart #bristolcity #bristolblog #bristolblogger #taxidermycollection #museumexhibit #chippingsodbury #victoriantaxidermist #gorilla #foxtaxidermy #birdtaxidermy (at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw2IKVdnc-n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4zma76fh81pu

When I started taxidermy I made the decision not to mount domestic pets. For me there is too much baggage with a domestic animal. The emotional connection is too great. If the mount is not right for whatever reason then you run the roar of traumatising your client and damaging your reputation. But that is just my personal view. What are your thoughts on mounting domestic animals? #taxidermistsofinstagram #bristoltaxidermy #influencer #taxidermy #taxidermist #dog #cat #pet #pets #animals #domesticanimals #domesticpets #pettaxidermy #stuffedanimals #cottagetaxidermy #taxidermypets #birdtaxidermy #taxidermistlife #taxidermistproblems #reputation #taxidermyart #wildlife #petlove #preservedanimals #blog #blogger #bristolblog #bristolblogger #taxidermylife #taxidermyartist (at Chipping Sodbury, South Gloucestershire) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwumdb4BHG6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wyqcd6a59gt1

Fish taxidermy is something I’ve never attempted for two reasons. One I don’t fish and I know very few fishermen so I’ve had no call for it. Two it’s never really interested me as much as other forms of taxidermy. Having said that I would give it a go at least once to see how it turned out. #taxidermistsofinstagram #bristoltaxidermy #influencer #taxidermy #taxidermist #fish #fishtaxidermy #pike #piketaxidermy #cottagetaxidermy #stuffedfish #stuffedpike #taxidermistlife #taxidermistproblems #taxidermistsofinstagram #taxidermyart #taxidermyforsale #fishtaxidermist #taxidermyfish #bristolinfluencers #blog #blogger #influencer (at Chipping Sodbury, South Gloucestershire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwtaXiUhf6X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ne8jkhdr2nzg

This is such a rarity nowadays. A proper taxidermists shop. I know a lot of people find preserved animals creepy and old fashioned, but I define them things of great skill and beauty. #taxidermist #taxidermy #taxidermistsofinstagram #taxidermistshop #weekendvibes #saturdayvibes #canalboatliving #countrysidelife #canalboating #wales #northwales #welshcountryside #victorian #creepy #oldfashioned #victoriantaxidermy #travel #travelblog #travelblogger #weekemdbreak #bankholiday #easter #easterweekend #easterbreak #taxidermyforsale #taxidermylife #wallmountedanimals #stuffedanimals #wildlife #preserved (at Llangollen) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwfV5n7HAIq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kbr3irn40f02
