Come package up an order with me!

🖤 This beautiful kitten was lovingly preserved by renowned Wellington Taxidermist - Antoinette Ratcliffe, @antoinetteratcliffe sourced from the Ōwhango trapping community in Ohinetonga Reserve.

🖤 This reserve boarders the Tongariro Forest Park which is one of five national Kiwi sanctuaries. The reserve itself is home to native birds including the threatened Whio (blue duck). Trapping predators is an essential way of preserving our native flora and fauna.

🖤 People are often more offended by taxidermy when it is a 'domestic' species, but in this context I hope you can see the benefit. As we always say, taxidermy should salvage the destruction, and appreciate life after death. 🖤

Make sure you come on down and and take a peak, at 8 Church Street in Queenstown 🧡 #windowdisplay #autumn #taxidermy #autumnwindowdisplay #florafaunanz #wunderkammer #queenstown

Autumn Thoughts...

things grow in the dark
the stars are shining brightly
wet leaves the bugs love

Love a good haiku, they really squeeze out the essence of a thought!!
🍂 Bring on my favourite season, full of mushrooms and toadstools, clear skies packed with stars, and the warm part of the colour wheel 🍂
I had fun putting together our autumn inspired display, featuring possibly one of my favourite beasts, a Dead Leaf Butterfly (kallima inachus) amongst other lovely things.
Please DM us if anything takes your fancy!
