(This was a late, morbid, Father’s Day taxidermy I made for myself, and I know this sin is going to make a bunch of the fans upset.)

Nina is made out of a real dog skin ethically sourced from a fellow oddities enthusiast who wanted her pup’s skeleton articulated when the time came. I asked if I could use the pelt in a project and she gave me permission (as long as it didn’t look like -her- dog in the end.)

Nina’s hair and mane is musk ox scraps I had from a long time ago.Eyes are tumbled and polished opalites.

Now I just need to find an Edward and Alphonse cosplayers for added sad-factor!

She cannot be sold due to domestic cat and dog fur being federally protected as seen here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2016-Sep/Fact%2520Sheet%2520-%2520Dog%2520and%2520Cat%2520Protection%2520Act.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjguY_BzpvqAhXWqp4KHegQDdkQFjAMegQIBBAB&usg=AOvVaw29wTzebu9kGQLJnXJL2PQI&cshid=1593042066057

So she will need to rot with me… She ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BE SOLD!

“ED….WARD…… BIG BROTHER ED! CAN WE PLAY NOW?”
