Hi there!

[alexiskilgannon]

Hello, hello! My name is Alexis and I am 23 years old. I work at home which allows me more time to play video games and work on taxidermy projects. I have an equal amount of love for both. I am much more of a PC-gamer, but I am out of a "good" computer at the moment, so I have been using my Playstation more frequently.

I am looking forward to scoping out the forums full of like-minded folks. ^.^

This is where the taboo part of what I do comes into play, but I got into this by simply picking up fresh road kill. I have a small business online and I do a few craft shows here and there. I work with animal bones and fur, but I like to keep it cruelty-free to avoid people cussing me out and making a freak show at my booth. One day I decided that an easier way to access bones without spending a ton of money in bulk was to just do it myself, so I searched for some roadkill and just went at it. I did my research on how to preserve and clean and here I am, still in the learning process. I haven't actually stuffed anything yet, but I have extracted bones and furs so far. =)
