Amanda’s Autopsies Taxidermy www.amandasautopsies.com Amanda has mainly been influenced by Walter Potter, who was one of the first to dress up preserved animals in costumes. When the Potter collection was split up and sold on to private collectors a few years back, Amanda wanted to recreate some of the pieces herself, as most of the collection would never be seen by the public again. She now does generic taxidermy, jewellery, and steampunk themed pieces on commission. Amanda doesn’t use animals that were killed for taxidermy, she uses reptile feed, road kill and animals that died naturally. She creates taxidermy to preserve the beauty of the animal.Tumblr (3.0; @amandasautopsies)http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7eb28b87b3a8bd1d980a6fef0c6ba251/tumblr_mn01z85TUU1qluf7zo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Party round Ben and Nat’s, whoo!</p>http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/post/50732079864http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/post/50732079864Sat, 18 May 2013 16:06:43 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a184cf1cb4cd91a860cdbaca27635ea5/tumblr_mmzse3EqbK1qluf7zo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Fresh red hair and an annoying curl</p>http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/post/50721707754http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/post/50721707754Sat, 18 May 2013 12:39:38 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/148ab6268282c26ed24c672ef99b7cae/tumblr_mmp1vpVpdG1qluf7zo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/49b651eba636c8e0c304b99ecfb9d3fe/tumblr_mmp1vpVpdG1qluf7zo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/fabb8dd195a4dfb26237aaf2ab9a430c/tumblr_mmp1vpVpdG1qluf7zo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Taxidermy ‘Clockwork’ rat for sale on <a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=181139414083">ebay here</a></p>http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/post/50267044132http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/post/50267044132Sun, 12 May 2013 17:31:00 +0100taxidermyclockworkautomataratAmanda's AutopsiesSteampunk<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/383a3099ff52a3059774f42ce917cc5f/tumblr_mmnmthljVz1qluf7zo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/46498c6a785fd975532b4fb3081617ab/tumblr_mmnmthljVz1qluf7zo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e598949e03c00538003a581f16480ccd/tumblr_mmnmthljVz1qluf7zo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Taxidermy Workshop 7, Gerbils, at Barts Pathology Museum. <a href="http://www.amandasautopsies.com/?page_id=2541">More Photos here</a></p>http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/post/50199224615http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/post/50199224615Sat, 11 May 2013 23:08:00 +0100taxidermypathologymuseumAmanda's AutopsiesGerbilworkshoplessons<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/9f7823480026b636bb320ef2600a0687/tumblr_mmn353NDRw1qluf7zo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#taxidermy workshop at @BartsPathology today</p>http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/post/50169189707http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/post/50169189707Sat, 11 May 2013 16:03:03 +0100taxidermy<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6976c453d2e1dc38a9243db16ad6a0d3/tumblr_mml1crdRbm1qluf7zo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Those attending # taxidermy workshop tomorrow will get to meet the new addition to the museum, 19th century corrosion cast of child - <a href="http://morbidanatomy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/early-19th-century-corrosion-cast-of.html">http://morbidanatomy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/early-19th-century-corrosion-cast-of.html</a></p>http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/post/50085140564http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/post/50085140564Fri, 10 May 2013 13:29:14 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/78e5f207a625fa30bb1c9599973c48c3/tumblr_mmjsn015t01qluf7zo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#pipe #hairup</p>http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/post/50032703784http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/post/50032703784Thu, 09 May 2013 21:23:24 +0100pipehairup<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/640c019039c3bef100ad8a1f0cca748e/tumblr_mmjr8uqak41qluf7zo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>30 #taxidermy #workshop kits made up and ready to go this Saturday at @BartsPathology</p>http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/post/50030590374http://amandasautopsies.tumblr.com/post/50030590374Thu, 09 May 2013 20:53:18 +0100workshoptaxidermy<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/51f027ea7d578c98a5e0e2dd8d709d2d/tumblr_mm1ap7lblt1qluf7zo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7365fb78d40c13b0a731f0b804e2d285/tumblr_mm1ap7lblt1qluf7zo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Taxidermy ‘sword’ swallowing mouse.
