Amazing work and Jazmine made the ferret looking animal look more adorable. I don't understand how anyone could NOT see how artists like her create these amazing recreations of the living are a good thing. Now, people can study and see the animals much easier. At least she isn't a trophy hunter type!
@@leximan34 Because, as I commented, TROPHY HUNTING. Is just as implied. Hunting is for sustenance, conservation, an obvious need. I have no qualm with hunters.
Man, I love the techniques used to make these creations! The way she measures the exact size and space apart from the front legs and back legs is amazing! I hope to do some proper taxidermy soon, so this video has already taught me some things that could help me a lot!
I am a taxidermist as well. I do work on animals dead from both natural causes and hunting. I am still an ethical taxidermist. There is nothing wrong with working on hunted animals as well. They deserve to be honored in the same way as those animals who died naturally.
i learned some from this video but wish someone spoke and explained things as the video went on even so great video thank you for taking time to share it
Thanks for your comment Jean - if you are interested in the process Jazmine wrote a piece about the taxidermy process for us too www.horniman.ac.uk/get_involved/blog/life-after-death-about-ethical-taxidermy
5:48 I found one yesterday, I always wondered why they die so easily.While I was skining it, I broke like 10 bones absolutely randomly, so now I know why
Really like the moist paper towel idea to keep the skin moist while drying the feathers on that bird! Will be using this myself. Also like the way you make your own forms, very cool!
I love that she used the animal’s skull underneath the skin. I believe most taxidermists don’t so that, it’s sort of nice that they’re not only using the hide.
Merhaba, benim kanarya kuş öldü, tahnit yapmak için başladığım yolda sadece kuş kafatası kaldı. Sizce kafatası içinde kalsın mı yoksa çıkartmam lazım mı
on many small animals people often use the organic skull of the animal as it is easy too preserve and light weight. As you move on too larger animals any amount of meat left in a crevace of a skull could cause issues and they become too heavy. Also with ducks and geese artificial heads are often used because the outer layer of their beaks tend too dry out, crack, and flake off as time goes by.
02:15 What is the name of the material you use? where can i get this material? can you help Thank you The paint you use is pastel paint? With which medicine do you clean the animal's skin?
It’s cool how she takes that much time for a simple small creature, when a lot of Taxidermist. Would just throw it together real quick and not make it Perfect

The beginning insinuates that animals harvested by hunting is unethical to mount? Why would this be so? As humans, we are animals. If we kill something with a purpose other than just to mount it, such as necessary food, that is nature. I'm not trying to argue whether or not hunting is ethical, for it simply is. I am trying to argue why preserving something's essence and beauty, that will likely otherwise go to the worms, birds, mice and bugs, is unethical?
Hi Coy, many thanks for your comments. In this film the use of the term ‘ethical taxidermy’ refers to the practice of using animals that have died from natural causes or as a result of an accident (like roadkill). The artists we work with take different approaches to their work, but have in common that they would not kill animals for the sole purpose of creating an artwork.
@@hornimanmuseum Taxidermists and hunters alike do not kill animals for the purpose of creating artwork. We create artwork for the purpose of honoring the animal, the sacrifice, the hunt, and the blessing of food and memory. It is a shame to assume otherwise.
Not really. I think it's a very beautiful tribute. She's an ethical taxidermist. She only works with animals who've died of natural causes. I do the same, myself. I mostly work with animals I find dead or those i've rescued who die of natural causes in my possession, including pets. Death is as natural as life and even as a vegan, I understand that accidents can happen as well..my only issue has ever been with deliberately taking lives. Anyway, I love horror movies ;D
I have been a vegetarian for over 20 years and I have been taking taxidermy classes for the last 6 months, working only on animals found post-mortem. You have to appreciate and respect animals and anatomy to have a passion for it. The pieces I have made were all about honour and giving life to something that would have been discarded otherwise.
I’ve been a vegetarian since I was born (I was raised as one) and I find taxidermy a wonderful way to recreate and remember the life of an animal that has unfortunately passed away. It’s a lovely tribute, and uses the body of an animal that otherwise would have been put to waste.

Hi Alexandre, Jazmine uses the term ethical taxidermist to mean that she uses animals that have died from a natural cause or accident, rather than killed for the purposes of taxidermy. For example, the specimen may have been hit by a car, flown into a window or died from old age or illness.

It's a stoat. It says at the beginning of the film that it's a stoat.

I personally couldn't do Taxidermy, as it would break my heart, but it is rather fascinating to see the process and craftsmanship behind it.
This is the best taxidermy video I've seen. Beautiful work and great to see the process done so carefully.
Truly awesome job by Jazmine. I'm impressed by the detailed and committed work. The results are perfect, natural and fully enjoyable.
I am a taxidermist as well. I do work on animals dead from both natural causes and hunting. I am still an ethical taxidermist. There is nothing wrong with working on hunted animals as well. They deserve to be honored in the same way as those animals who died naturally.
I certainly agree. Hunting gives you a connection to the animal and food that comes from it like no other.

What spesimen is?
How do you get the wings to stay open? Hold them open until they dry?
Patrick Bateman they probably used a wire armature to keep them open, similar to how they do long thin tails in other animals so they can be posed.

What do they do with the meat afterwards?

For these small birds like tits ,do you use varnish satin (semi-gloss) , or varnish Matt,
for the beaks and the feet to keep them protected pls. Thks.
