Anonymous asked:
Is snow glow the same as champagne?
No, they are different. Champagne/Palomino is a pale cream color, Snow Glow is a Fire type with a white body and colored legs, tail and ears.

Mountable pelts for sale! These would make amazing softmounts
I have started to update all my Etsy listings so I can hopefully find homes for a good amount of my pelts. I’m expecting some new pelts soon and my small workspace can only hold so many pelts!
Because Etsy charges me about 12% of the value in fees, I have no other choice than to add those to the price. I can however send you an invoice on Paypal for a 7% reduction in price (Paypal charges me 5% fees). A bank transfer from European countries has no fees so you get the regular price.
I’m willing to do deals on multiple pelts!
Not a big Etsy fan but lately I’ve sold a few pelts through Etsy.
I’ve added some new pelts, like some large Marble Frosts as well as a mountable wild tanuki pelt. Everything on Etsy is also available through Paypal payment for a 7% discount. I can send you an invoice and you’ll have 90 days to pay off the pelt.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but what makes a pelt mountable or not? I was looking at your shop and noticed the price jump and was curious.
Mountable pelts are 100% complete, while non mountable pelts (“wallhanger”) often don’t have legs. But even complete pelts don’t have to be mountable.
The feet need to be free of any bones, except the very last toe bone holding on to the nail. The ears need to be turned, aka opened up so they can be flipped inside out. There is some skin around the eyes and lips that can be split so you can tuck that into your taxidermy form. And the nose cartilage needs to be split so both nostril tubes are free.
In reality you can definitely still mount a pelt without the nose being perfect, and extra bones in the feet will make your animal look funky but it’s not the end of the world.
Doing all this extra work during skinning takes a while, and most importantly a very skilled hand! It’s a rare skill to have. The tanning is also a LOT more expensive. Tanning for wallhangers is much cheaper because generally, there’s no legs and the face isn’t important. Taxidermy pelts need hours of special care to keep all those details intact. Where I am in Europe, I haven’t found any commercial tannery doing a proper tan for my taxidermy foxes. A friend of mine who is a professional taxidermist does my taxidermy tanning, and hiring a professional definitely comes with a hefty price tag. All worth it though!
I will be updating all pictures and pelt inventory (I have a few pelts here and there that didn’t get added before) in the coming weeks.
Most pelts are for sale on Etsy, but with shipping already included in the price and a 12% price increase to compensate for fees.
Trello has a list of all the pelts I currently have, along with pictures and info on the pelt. Picking a pelt there and messaging me directly (here, on Instagram or on Facebook) and paying through Paypal is cheaper than buying via Etsy. I can’t take credit card so that’s where Etsy comes in handy.
