The Taxidermy Mouse Chess Set Features Real Mice
Michael Hines — December 12, 2013 — Art & Design
No matter what your opinion on mice, you can't deny that the Taxidermy Mouse Chess Set is incredibly creative, if a bit morbid. This custom chess board was created by Etsy merchant Rachael Garcia of the store The Curious 13. The set is made up of stuffed mice that are dressed up as chess pieces.
The costumes make the chess set slightly more creepy, depending on how creepy you think the Taxidermy Mouse Chess Set is to begin with. Know that the mice used for the board were already dead and frozen, intended to be used as snake food and not as chess pieces. The chess set is a custom order from Garcia's Etsy shop and is currently out of stock.
