I myself don't but I'll put you in contact with a member I've talked with who does deal with animal parts in her work. She's been doing so for several years and has been very willing to talk with me about questions, I think she might be able to help you.

Lupagreenwolf is what she goes by on Deviant Art.

Ehe... it is more about my wanting things to be perfect, especially because I got such a great pelt.

What are you planning to do

What are you planning to do with the pelt? o:
And what kind is it? I may be able to offer some help, although I'm not super experienced.

It is a pale red coyote: Seen

It is a pale red coyote: Seen here, middle right that was pretty much given to me by Zhon, along with other things. I have not received him yet, but I am going to soon.
I wanted to do a soft-mount, but I am not decided between "regular" taxidermy soft mount or a "rogue" taxidermy soft mount. For the rogue one I planned on using a real or resin skull for the head, leaving the jaw open on the bottom since he has no bottom lip. (cause I am a rebel. XD)

Just wondering what I can do with him to make him look more gorgeous. I am worried I won't get the perfection with the rogue look, but I was inspired so much by this photo by Sp00nd that I am finding the decision difficult at best.


:/ *sigh* I just want to make him appear beautiful and unique over top of his gorgeous pelt colors.

Oh, and anyone can help me name him if they want.

I do love the soft mounts. So

I do love the soft mounts. So much. >u< I plan to get one done for my arctic fox pelt.

I also like both regular and rouge.. Hmm.. I think, especially with that lovely coat, s/he'll be unique no matter what you do. I am more fond of the regular but.. I dunno. I think you need to find a good taxidermist, first. ;u; Then go from there.

I am going to do him myself.

I am going to do him myself. :3 He will be my first full-body mount. I am just a little worried because of how gorgeous he is... I don't want to marr that.

Oooh! 8D Well good luck. I hope it all turns out well.

I suggest, maybe, getting a cheaper.. maybe damaged pelt and working with that before going into your nice pelt? That way you can make mistakes, and learn. (:

I always get so nervous before I do a taxidermy piece... ;A;
