taxidermy sculpture

Every time I see a dead bird or mouse on the ground I am reminded of an artist Hugo obsessed about a few years ago. Unfortunately I don't remember her name. (Hugo, who was it?) Here is someone who might be her. I'm really not sure. Regardless, go to the bottom of her page and click the links to see the various mice. My favorite is pope mouse.

This morning I saw this bird as it was dying.
Beak was moving, legs were twitching, body was seizing. I know, it's gruesome. I'm more okay with death than your average person, so I like to stop and look at the dead creatures when I see them.

I wanted to scoop this bird up and taxidermy it. I wish I knew how.
