Behold, my jar o' joeys!

A beautiful older picture of specimen NRM A56 6599… a wet specimen doe from 1884.

Here she is today taken out of her jar for the ITSD(which i still can’t find -_-) but she is regarded as the best preserved specimen to date.

This is a 3-D scan of NRM A56 6599, highly regarded as “the best preserved” of only 5 adult thylacine wet specimens in the world.

She, a doe, was captured somewhere in Tasmania in the year 1882. She was on display at the London Zoo from the 14th of November 1884 to April the 2nd, 1893. She was originally purchased by a Dr. A. Bingham Crowther of Launceston, from the Zoological Society of London.

She is currently in the collection of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm

All the machine sewing on the giant rat is done!

Apparently it’s creepy when someone walks in as I’m sewing and the stuffed animal body is standing on its own, headless

In my defense I am currently working on sewing the head lol

Omg i never posted them. yay okay so this is Lovelace the rat (they/them) and they’re my latest creation. I made the pattern myself and hand sewed them out of an old sweater i bought at the thrift store. They’re fully posable with jointed limbs and they’re about 20 inches tall. open the cut for the free pattern!!

Thank you so much for this pattern!! This is Pyrite the Pi-rat (they will have a pirate outfit next time I go upstairs)
