Seriously, how cool is the word “faux-taxidermy”? I just love how something that I personally find so creepy can be turned into something, well, awesome!
Over this last week I’ve been busy working on the coolest faux-taxidermy project – Rhinka the Rhino by Pepika Designs and it has been seriously so much fun to watch it come together.
I was chuckling as I mounted him on the wall, thinking that any little kid will find this to be the most funky decoration ever!
I’ve boxed this one up and he’s ready to charge off (see what I did there) to his new home in Amsterdam.
If you want to make one for yourself, you absolutely can. Just head over to the Pepika website and you can pick up any of her fabulous designs in her store.
Meanwhile, this isn’t the first Pepika design I’ve made. Remember Johnny the Monkey from this time last year?

Awesome! I love what you’ve created here, fabulous and so much fun too! Are you familiar with Manafka’s work? You’d get a kick put of that also! Marianne xx

Oh that is just too awesome, thank you for sharing this, I definitely need to make some of these for my house!
I love it! This is subverting the medium (of dead animals on walls) in the best, most joyful way. Gorgeous. (I knitted a stag head ages ago so I understand the fun of doing this stuff.)
