A 31-year-old woman who originally wanted to be a vet, but ended up as a taxidermist for over a decade is now using her skills to teach others. While studying fine art and sculpture at Loughborough University, Elle Kaye started looking into taxidermy and "fell in love" with the art.
Now, Elle is using her love of animals and creativity to teach the next generation of taxidermists. Prices for Elle’s creations, which come in all shapes and sizes from a blue tit to an exotic peacock or a flamingo, range from £250 to £2,500.
Elle said: "I love working so intimately with birds I wouldn't see in the wild. It is so rewarding to be close to birds.
