Speaking of Taxidermy...

I recently discovered the Extreme Craft blog, (whose tagline is "A compendium of art masquerading as craft, craft masquerading as art & craft extending its middle finger") which wrote a feature about a funeral home in WI that has a basement full of taxidermied animal dioramas.

Their Flickr page is completely incredible! There are chipmunks watching a "topless girlie show", squirrels riding plastic horses, and a big fish wearing a monacle. If you're into birds, you might like the uber-creepy Bird Tree, which is filled with birds - some hanging upside-down from the branches.

I couldn't resist posting a picture of this Bucky Badger. Not so friendly-looking, eh? He might be attempting to use that football as a deadly weapon. I especially love that someone has crocheted him a sweater.
