Taxtiles

Taxtiles is a merge of two words "Textile & Taxidermy" Breaking the boundaries between textile and taxidermy. Experimenting with the techniques used in taxidermy to create bespoke luxury items for the home and office. The materials used in the textile taxidermy is sustainable yarns, threads and fabric. Rebeca then uses a technique she created herself called weave binding. All sculptures are pose able and can interact with each other. Even the textile trophy heads are pose able with the ears. Every sculpture is bespoke and individual. They can vary in colour and personality which gives them character. Every sculpture has a name. Becky also does free-hand embroidery and illustrates motifs which are created into canvassed pieces or cushions. The cushions have different materials on the back and some have the real animal incorporated into the products. NOTE: All taxidermy specimens and fur/feathers are ethically sourced and have been either road-kill, euthanised wild-life from the vets and RSPCA which couldn't be saved due to injuries and illness. No animals or bird was killed when making the pieces. They were already dead when acquired. Established by Becky Dick in 2014.
