Description

My newest pride!! The worlds first flying fox!

I’m very happy how she turned out! Especialy for my first mount this size. She has a wingspan of one meter.
I hope you guys like her as much as I do!

It's the first time I used the sewing machine, because sewing with the hand would be too many hours of work. The wings are from a swan, who was too damaged to keep, except for the wings and the skull.

No animals were harmed for this work. I was actually pretty sad that such beautiful animals had to die. I really love foxes.
For my work I use the forgotten animals - like roadkill and dismissed hunting animals - to make them into something people adore again.

Very nice and creative!
How did you use the sewing machine on the feather? I mean feathers are very delicate, I'm surprised it held up

Thank you very much! :Heart:
I attached the wing with feathers to a piece of wood with a screw. This way I could use the wood to hold the wings high.

Great work! Very unique. I like the steam-punk feel to it, and you've preserved the fox really well. He still looks very cute.

I'm real glad that you think the fox still looks loveable, that's the hardest part to do.
Thank you!
