Every year, thousands of animals around the world are killed just to use their skins to create stuffed animals. The process of making stuffed skins is called taxidermy. The artist Shauna Richardson is also involved in taxidermy. But she does it without harm to nature - with the help of knitting needles and woolen thread.
In order to hang a trophy in the form of a freshly killed animal's head on the wall or put a stuffed hare on a shelf, it is not at all necessary to kill them. The artist Shauna Richardson proves this by her work. After all, she makes stuffed animals of all kinds from woolen thread. She knits them.
Shauna Richardson uses knitting needles and 3mm woolen thread to create his knitted masterpieces. It takes about two to three months to create each of these "scarecrows".
As a result, knitted stuffed animals are obtained, one to one of the same size and shape with real animals. And an unprepared person is unlikely, having seen the creation of Shauna Richardson, will understand that not a single animal died during the creation of this stuffed animal.
