Fox Squirrel Pelt - Corey

Published:

Description

This is Corey (or McCormick), my beautiful new fox squirrel pelt. :love: He was found as roadkill and skinned and tanned by me. I skinned him with all of his paws and claws intact which gives him so much more personality (just look at that pose in this picture! :D) than my other two tanned squirrel pelts who are sadly lacking their feetses. :(

A big thank you goes out to ~lirimakat whose patience with my bizarre interests and continued antics made Corey's "second life" possible. :)

More pictures of Corey will be posted once I've made a couple small repairs to his tail. :aww:
