Yeah... it's been a while hasn't it? Yeah, Bailee here. I disappeared for quite a while... oops. Sorry!
I've been really... unmotivated lately. It's awful. I am showing signs of depression (I have not been diagnosed, but friends of mine who have dealt with it suspects I am suffering from it) and my anxiety has gotten much worse... just things have been pretty... iffy. I'll have days where I actually feel good, but most days I just don't want to do anything, I want to sleep, just, it's pretty bad. But I'm pushing along.
I've been really getting into Taxidermy, and I want to do it more so than Photography now, though I am still going to college.
Yeah, that's a wolf pelt. I told you I was getting into Taxidermy! That wolf was legally taken in Canada for population control and shows signs of being 8-10 years old (very old for a wild wolf, so she lived a nice long life in the wild). I plan to turn her into a headdress some time after I mount my coyote.
Also, please do not be discouraged about my blog because of the taxidermy stuff.
I love animals just as much as you all, just both alive and dead! I will be posting more pictures of my animals (rabbits, cats, and dogs) than taxidermy stuff. C:
I have become very spiritually connected to my pelts... and I've purchased quite a lot in a short period of time. I love them as if they were alive. Here are my current pelts!
From left to right:
Claudio the male opossum (just a wallhanger, from a friend)
Nuka the male platinum/whitemark fox (just a wallhanger, from a trade)
Vitani the female arctic marble fox (just a wallhanger, from a fur market, would have been turned into craft if not for me)
Codie the mountable male coatimundi (from eBay, will probably be mounted)
Cinder the mountable female Yukon wolf (from hideandfur, like I said, to be turned into a headdress)
Sorrel the mountable female Alaskan lynx (from a private deal, I'll mount her)
Bracken the mountable male coyote (from hideandfur, I will be mounting him soon)
Russet the male red coyote (a wallhanger, I reshaped his face, from ebay)
Kovu the posable soft mount Alaskan cross fox (mounted by midnightwolfdesigns)
Like I said, NONE of these animals were killed by or for me. Most for population control, or second-hand (meaning they would have been used for clothing of something if I didn't buy them). I used to be against all of this but I support it for the sake that the animal is being preserved and appreciated, even in death.
I actually mounted some birds myself- a pheasant and a baby chicken.
I am very proud 8)
But anyway, away from that topic, the bunnies have been good!
I am considering bonding the three of them together but my lack of motivation has really affected me so I haven't had the desire to do so just yet.
You're apparently limited with how many pictures per post now... :/ so I guess I'll make separate posts for the pictures and with stuff about the animals.
