Taxidermy has always given me the heebie-jeebies. The glassy-eyed empty stare, the "I once was a lovely being, but now I'm stuck on your wall"... I love animals, but I prefer them alive and frolicking in their natural habitat.
So it took me a while to "get" the latest faux taxidermy rage. Not sure if any of these will ever find a place in my home, but they are conversation starters and do add a touch of fun to an otherwise ho-hum room.

faux taxidermy art at the new children's museum
i couldn't find the description and the sign said "please do not touch", but I *think* they're made from found wood.
So, what do you think? Is faux or real taxidermy for you?
