It’s time to talk “ethical” and what that means to me! Ethics are personal moral principles, so labelling your oddities as “ethical” doesn’t mean anything unless you specify what that entails.
.
How do you source your materials?
The materials I use in my work are either found by myself or sourced from trusted sellers. They are most commonly foraged remains; found in nature or the result of road traffic accidents, with a few pieces being from animals who lived their whole lives in human care and passed of natural causes.
If you want to know the specific sourcing on a piece, please ask!
.
What won’t you use in your work?
Many artists will use remains sourced from pest control or meat/fur industry byproducts, as they have not been killed solely for the purpose of art and are still considered ethical/sustainable, which is what works for them. However, this is not something that aligns with my personal ethics, so I do not use bones from these sources.
.
What about commissions?
If you already own something I wouldn’t normally have sourced myself and you want me to gild it for you, I am happy to do so as it is already in your possession!
I will not go out of my way to obtain anything specifically for a commission if it isn’t from my regular sourcing, even if you have told me you are okay with it, as I am not comfortable doing so. If you want to do the labour of searching and sourcing something for me to work on, you can put in the time to do so and complete that transaction yourself before sending it to me to work on.
.
It is important to be transparent about sourcing within the oddity community, as different peoples ethics mean different things, so I hope this was insightful for anyone wondering where I get my materials from!
If you have any further questions please leave a comment below!
Thank you!

Buy now, pay later options are always available on my website! I know we could all use a little help spreading out payments for a treat sometimes.

✨Afterpay allows you to split the cost into 4 payments with 2 weeks between instalments
✨Klarna allows you to split the cost into 3 payments with 30 days between each instalment

✨Commissions are always split into a 50% deposit and 50% on completion too, to spread out costs! This can be split into more payments if desired to work with your budget.

(Disclaimer: I wouldn’t call myself a taxidermist but I do taxidermy crabs before covering them in 24ct gold so take that as you will)

Thrilled to be a part of the @satanicfleamarket Dark Arts Night Fayre on Friday 15th May!

See you all there!

Did a terrible job at remembering to take photos and videos of my own stall at @liverpoolaltbazaar on Sunday, was too busy chatting, selling, shopping, and taking videos of the rest of the market vibes… here’s a very brief look at my table and my view for most of the night!

Thank you so much as always for coming along to the events I run, it really fills me with so much joy to see the alternative community in Liverpool turn up every bazaar! Catch us in Manchester for @manchesteraltbazaar at the end of the month!

✨ Alternative Market Bingo ✨ Over the past few years selling at markets, I’ve noticed a few trends/popular sightings! Since market season is well underway, I thought I’d share my bingo card of what I always notice at events! Please post this when your fave markets come around (maybe a specific one this Sunday in Liverpool 👀) and tell everyone which of these CLASSIC alternative market sightings you spot! Happy bingoing!

(Yes okay MAYBE I gave @cecily_bumtrinket her own square and included some shameless self promo in there too)

Revealing some Dead Good sheep toes 👀 They need a tiny little touch up and it’s just my luck that the most perfect one (last one shown) didn’t film correctly when I peeled the masking fluid off 🙄 I’ve had these @deadgoodjewellery pieces for so long and only just getting around to working on them and will be available worldwide REAL SOON along with a few other bits from Dead Good!
