Unlike traditional taxidermy, Rose’s creations aren’t trophies for those who have hunted the animals. Instead, she uses the remains of animals donated from farms, petting zoos, veterinarians and pet owners whose furry friends have died, and then works with a close friend, who skins and tans the pelts before sending them to her. The animals’ bones are donated to another friend, who creates artwork from the pieces.
