ISO/ wanted: donations of deceased animals, commissions available

Glendale AZ

Description

-Located in west Glendale, commissions must drop off to me, as for any donations I am not looking to travel too far- ISO/ looking for donations of deceased animals/pets for my hobby of skull cleaning & preservation, I appreciate donations to add to my practice & improvement. Taxidermy & preservation is a perfectly legal & common hobby, so I would appreciate the more sensitive people just scrolling on rather than flagging, thank you. *Besides hunted or farmed type animals, naturally or accidentally deceased pets only; no Im not taking your neighbors cat that you trapped just because it annoys you. I am looking for small/medium specimens only at the moment, I don’t have the room for horses/cattle/etc. right now unless it’s the head/skull only. As for arachnids/insects, I can dry preserve those for shadow box or free standing display. Mummification is possible but only doing that for specimens smaller than a shoebox at the moment. *commission prices depend on the request, skull cleaning being the main offer to my commissions right now. - Pet memorials are an easy commission request: I will do skull cleaning which includes the finished clean skull, paw/foot prints either prints or clay impressions- your choice- & a clean fur/feather/scale clipping in a keychain sized jar. I ask a lower price than professional taxidermists will ask but price depends on the animals size. As an artist, I can also include a small drawing of your fur baby for an extra small fee. Pictured is a small few of my own things I’ve processed & preserved. Email me if interested in commissioning or donating anything, thank you. Also AVAILABLE FOR SALE: 1 mountable full coyote pelt. In great condition. $150 for pelt only.
