Description Happy New Year everyone!!  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season filled with love and cheer and all the good stuff  


Now that the holiday busies are over and I'm back home, I've finally had a chance to snap a group shot of my completed fox soft mount collection: Natural Color Variations of the Wild Red Fox Each mount was created by a different artist, all of which are extremely talented and got me interested in soft mount taxidermy to begin with!  


Left to right:

Kato- Male Silver fox from Iowa done by

Kai- Male Cross fox from Canada done by MidnightWolfDesigns on Etsy

Kiba- Female Eastern Red fox from Pennsylvania done by

Kitara- Female Pale Red fox from Montana done by


I feel very lucky to have each and every one of them!  Hope y'all enjoy the photo, and please, no hateful comments.  I did not kill these foxes~ And if you don't like taxidermy, that's fine- but be respectful and keep your comments to yourself if that's the case

You can always tell which mounts are done by Katie, and which by Nemi. They are just lovely! 

That cross is just beautiful. Such bold, yet vivid markings. Just lovely!

Yes!  They each have their own characteristic style that is unique, no doubt!!!  I truly love and appreciate being able to see that special touch each artist has in each piece  

And thank you!!  I think Katie got his pelt from glacierwear~ he was from Canada originally

LOL!  They are kinda like pet foxes, but I don't have to feed them or deal with walks/vet bills/etc.  Got my real living pups for that!!  These guys live an afterlife of luxury hanging out on my couch haha

Oh gosh I wish!!  Credit goes to the artists that created each mount- I had nothing to do with breathing creative life back into these beauties.  I just purchased them

The pelts are real, but as stated in the description; they are soft mount taxidermy pieces.

At first, I thought it was a bit disgusting, because they are dead animals. But my grandfather had an ermine like that, which was much less well done. So I wanted to say that it was beautiful. As an artist, I know that everything that is created has a little piece of the soul of the creator. And these foxes surely had to take a lot of care and time to be so beautiful. If this is your passion, you're really lucky to have such beautiful specimens ! So even though I'm not a fan of the concept, I can only bow before such a beautiful work!
Each one seems to have their own personnality !

I apologize if this seems offensive comment, I have my opinion, but I did not want to insult you in any case. Just to congratulate you.
And i apologize for my mistakes, i'm not fluent in english. ><

I whole-heartedly thank you for being open and appreciating art when you see it, even if you are not particularly comfortable with the form it comes in.  Thank you for that!  This comment was not at all offensive.  Thank you again for being open and honest~ your english seems fine!

I'm sorry it saddens you, but I will take that as a compliment- the artists each did a wonderful job recreating lifelike expressions so well that it fooled you! That is, after all, the point of taxidermy-  To preserve the beauty after the life has passed from the animal, so that it can be admired and appreciated rather than rotting away.


Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have these 4 foxes as live pets- but I do not have the accommodations to give foxes a happy home/life, so I stick with my 2 dogs for pet purposes!  They are quite wonderful little pups and get the best of everything- I love them very dearly! Don't forget, one can be an animal lover AND still appreciate taxidermy

Brillyent-Blondie In reply to InNaturesImage [2014-01-02 07:52:52 +0000 UTC]

Girl, the key is to keep an eye out for the pre-mades!  All of them (except for Kai, he was my first soft mount and was commissioned!) I snagged up as pre-mades in sales It takes a bit of time and luck, but just keep an eye out and you'll eventually find what you want


And as always thank you so kindly

InNaturesImage In reply to Brillyent-Blondie [2014-01-02 08:17:27 +0000 UTC]

I know whatcha mean! Unfortunately every time one came up they sold within a matter of minutes or I just frankly didn't have the money. That waa the case with that pretty silver you snatched up there. If I had the money, I would've fought anyone for him!

Of course!

Brillyent-Blondie In reply to InNaturesImage [2014-01-02 08:43:23 +0000 UTC]

I so feel that There were more than a few mounts I missed out on along the way- whether from being too late to the sale or just not having the funds at the time- and I remember feeling really bummed at first.  Finally I told myself the right ones would come along eventually, and if I was meant to have them, everything would work out how it was supposed to!  Keep that in your heart and you can't go wrong That said I am sorry I snagged up the silver!  But don't worry, another will come along that will catch your eye and you'll be the first one with the money to get it!  And if not, there's always commissions

Thank you for the kind words, dearie. It's true, I have to keep a positive mind and look forward to the things ahead of me. I can't wait for what this year will bring! And don't be sorry! I am sincerely glad that you were the one who ended up with him and I better see some more lovely ones uploaded of him too!

Awww they're all so lovely!! I think Kai is still my favorite... I love me a cross. c; But they all are awesome!

I'd love to see a top shot of all their backs/sizes/tails and a belly shot too!! AND PAW SIZE! Ahhh

If you have the time 8) I love seeing the comparisons! 

Just the comparisons between Kovu and Kiara are so cool to me! (their pelts were both even from the same seller and they're still both so different! LOL!)

Brillyent-Blondie In reply to reckIess [2014-01-02 07:48:51 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, lady!!!


It's hard for me to pick a favorite, they are all extremely well made and I love different qualities in each one! Plus they each have their own unique "personality" about their look, you know?  And that is a great idea~ I'll have to make a collage of some comparison shots other than just the faces  I'll try to get to taking more pics tomorrow if it's nice out


I didn't know Kovu and Kiara's pelts came from the same seller! Were they from the same region in Alaska?  And yessss omg I love comparison photos.  You should take one of Kovu and Kiara together~ it would be awesome to see double the beauty!
