Wretch

...Ew.

This female squirrel pelt was sold complete, with all her claws and everything, but not taxidermy quality. Still, I stubbornly tried to do something with her, because it looked like it MIGHT work, but the results are less than perfect.

She's stuffed with soft batting and wire armature, with a hand carved foam head. Her leather was so stiff, even after rehydrating, that her face and feet remain deformed, trying to fix them would result in damage.

Still, the squirrel (which I call "Wretch," I think it's fitting) has an odd, ugly charm to her. Not bad for one of my first mounts, and for the quality of the pelt, I'd say I did my best. How good my best is, well...

She's for sale or trade, make me an offer. I really don't have a home for her at all here, so just about anything would be good. I'd especially like fox tails (any color, but I'd LOVE one dyed an unnatural color) a wolf legskin or a complete ermine. Also on my wishlist, craft grade pelts (without heads, feet or tails.)
