Feltidermy

Stuffing and Mounting Undead Animals for Eco-Conscious Folks

— September 4, 2009 — Art & Design
Taxidermy, the art of stuffing and mounting deceased animals, has long been in practice, festooning the hallowed halls of red-necks and the decoratively-challenged alike.

For the eco-conscious, animal rights activists who do not appreciate the true beauty and art that is half a gutted deer slapped onto their wall, one girl has come up with an alternative: feltidermy.

Feltidermy is exactly what it sounds like; the making and stuffing of felt animals. It would be impossible for one to have a unicorn (short of strapping a horn to a taxidermied horse's forehead) or Tyrannosaurus rex mounted on their wall. With feltidermy, you can be surrounded by all of the mythical creatures your heart desires, as well as the timeless classics that are deer, fish and moose.
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Taxidermy - With the rise of eco-consciousness, the demand for alternative taxidermy methods like Feltidermy is increasing, presenting disruptive innovation opportunities like the creation of sustainable and biodegradable materials.
2. Customizable Home Decor - Feltidermy offers a customizable alternative to traditional taxidermy, paving the way for personalized home decor and potentially disrupting the home decor industry.
3. Mythical Creature Art - Feltidermy's ability to craft and mount mythical creatures can create a new trend in the art industry that disrupts traditional techniques.
Industry Implications
1. Eco-friendly Products - Feltidermy's use of eco-friendly materials can revolutionize the production of sustainable products.
2. Crafting and Textile Industry - The rise of Feltidermy could disrupt traditional taxidermy, therefore, innovating the crafting and textile industry and creating more niche markets.
3. Art and Design Industry - Feltidermy's customizable and creative approach to taxidermy can shift the dynamics of the art and design industry, leading to novel market segments.
