Loved to Death



http://www.lovedtodeath.net/
"We have always been animal lovers and feel that the life of an animal doesn’t necessarily end at their death. We seek out obscure and unique materials to create Loved To Death items. Loved To Death began this endeavor creating Anthropomorphic Taxidermy dioramas and have expanded to include their truly unique Jewelry and Accessories line.
Beginning in the mid 1800’s, Anthropomorphic Taxidermy is an art form that is both inspiring and somewhat unaccepted. Hermann Ploucquet, a pioneer who was well known for his “Fighting Squirrels“, was the first to show his works in 1850. One of the most well known and influential Anthropomorphic artists was Walter Potter. With his collection of works that were exhibited in the Potter Museum, Potter was the first to be so publicly accepted.
Having a keen sense of recognizing and appreciating small details is a big part of what makes these pieces so unique. All animal parts in our jewelry and accessories line come from recycled sources and have all been professionally preserved. No animals have been killed for use in our work. They are Loved To Death by us and hopefully you too!"

  1. Taxidermy is really interesting. I like the shadow boxes they had on their website the most.
    Someone from school gave me this site: http://www.vandykestaxidermy.com/
