🖤 Dress a Duckling: Whimsical Taxidermy Art
Unleash your inner gothic couturier by dressing an ethically preserved duckling into a bizarre and beautiful creature.
In this hands-on session, you'll use lace, beads, fabric, and found objects to design a miniature being—a duck prince in velvet, perhaps, or a feathered oracle dressed in bone and silk. Equal parts macabre and magical, this workshop invites you to transform the strange into something story-worthy.
🕊️ Specimens ethically sourced and pre-preserved 🎩 All materials provided 🖤 No experience required—just a love for the odd and adorable
