Amanda’s Autopsies Taxidermy www.amandasautopsies.com Amanda has
mainly been influenced by Walter Potter, who was one of the first to
dress up preserved animals in costumes. When the Potter collection was
split up and sold on to private collectors a few years back, Amanda
wanted to recreate some of the pieces herself, as most of the
collection would never be seen by the public again. She now does
generic taxidermy, jewellery, and steampunk themed pieces on
commission. Amanda doesn’t use animals that were killed for
taxidermy, she uses reptile feed, road kill and animals that died
naturally. She creates taxidermy to preserve the beauty of the animal.
