Here's the cross fox I did for my grandfather's memorial.
I carved the form myself and this was one of the fastest foxes I have done and even sewed it up on the way up there.
I do have more pictures if I can get to them, they are on another camera.

If you are interested in commissions, please note me :)
This is a taxidermy piece and is not a live animal.

I know I am a bit late to the field, but I think you need more positive feedback on this. This is HONORABLE. You took one of your grandfather's skins (an animal that probably saw the end of it's life long ago, NOT from a farm, but from honorable hunting - real hunting), and you turned it into a piece of art for his memorial. That's amazing, and really sweet. :claps:

Kudos to you, hun!

I feel bad for the poor fox, but nevertheless, you've got good skill. He looks . . . nice. :]

I do wonder what would happen if I stuffed a baby, though . . .

You mean the skin?

I don't get why people are mad. I mean you made it for your grandpa right? who passed away. and if I didn't hear correctly didn't you say it was one of his pelts? they act like you just randomly made a dead guy a fox (that was tortured and beaten and skinned alive) and put it in the grave with him. anyway, he's very pretty, I'm sure your gramps would be honored to have such a beautiful fox such as this.

Lovely! I'm very sorry about your grandfather's passing, but this is a lovely way to honor his memory. I'm sorry other people jump to conclusions about your taxidermy. :(

One day, I'd love to commission you! You really do a lovely job.
