Mini Taxidermy

Continuing with the natural history theme, I decided to add some Victorian taxidermy to my 1840s sewing box.  Please see here and  here  for some real examples from the 1850s.

I, of course, used faux taxidermy, and I stuck with the butterflies.  I ordered a small butterfly hole-punch from eBay, and went back to the books from the kickoff.



Devon punched out a few butterflies and mounted them onto a page from one of the books. (Thank you, Devon!)



Results are below.  As it happens, the wings from the devil-like creature shown above made some very nice moth wings.
