Shauna Richardson’s crochetdermy is the perfect solution for anyone who is in love with whole taxidermy look, but isn’t crazy about having dead stuffed animal in their home. The UK-based artist uses thick and coarse wools like mohair to crochet these lifelike hunting trophies. For the finishing touch, she uses glass eyes to complete the look.
As a person who thought hunting trophies were always slightly on the creepy side, this is the perfect compromise. You can now have that creepy hunting trophy, without all that creepiness.
