BigUglyManI just spent a few minutes looking those over. Iniotially I thought they were a bit busy but I really started warming up to them. I like the Africa-shaped pedestal base.
Nice work.

Nice work.
To me they are too busy, I don't follow the current trend in taxidermy of huge elaborate pedistal mounts. In my mind they detract from the animal.
To each their own I guess.
Very nice work, and the expressions are excellent.

As opposed to your normal shoulder mount that is normally hung 10-12 feet on the wall, never to be touched or seen eye to eye again.
I think those pedestals look great. I also think they would work really well with guys who hunt exotic animals in Texas. You could put all the common exotics on the same pedestals. Keep the pictures coming

I agree... those are very nice and would be good for someone running out of wall space.

SidnyeAbsolutely stunning.
I really enjoy your pictures,keep 'em coming.
Over 40 years ago I took a correspondence taxidermy course---Northwestern School of Taxidermy.
I was a kid at the time and the tweety bird population in my neighborhood really took a hit providing me with practice specimens.
I worked mosty with birds but did a few game heads.
None of my game head mounts ever came even close to what is being produced now days.
You guys are real artists.

The Artistry of WildlifeSidnye,
I bought my lessons from J C Elwood and the Northwestern School of Taxidermy 43 years ago.
Getting those lesson books was like having Xmas come in the mail. I lived in the city 1 mile outside Detroit and with my BB gun the bird population almost went extinct....I didn't enjoy mounting birds so turned my specialty to Mammals...
I still have my booklets from back then.

SidnyeWe must have been in the same graduating class
Got'em at the same place. one dollar a month for 10 months I think.
Still have the paperback books--Still have that little kit with chain and hooks for hanging birds and scalple etc from JW elwood supply
Still have the diploma---
I have several college degrees/awards but that taxi diploma looks the best

The Artistry of WildlifeI used to have my diploma, maybe still do buried somewhere inmy things.
If I remeber it was huge, like 16" by 24"
It was impressive to a 10 year old...

It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
