I will be away from the studio until May to attend the Oddities Flea Market in Chicago and then to New Jersey to our very anticipated museum install, Staab Studios has been hard at work at for the past 3 years! More details to come and hope to touch base soon. Please hang tight as these big projects come to a close! <3

My Dear Memorials,

I’m off to Denver! This upcoming weekend, I will be traveling to Ritualcravt, to art it up with Tyler Thrasher, Moth & Candle, and Weaves, Shoots, and Leaves. I’ll be bringing a variety of taxidermy, framed specimens, and the Oracle classics, but above all (and beyond excited for) is teaching my two favorite classes; Magic of Spiders (taught with Atropos Curios) and Bare Bones to Articulation (where students will learn bone cleaning and articulate their very own fox paw) For more information and registration, please follow this link or sign up online at school.ritualcravt.com!

Install date for the Edelman Fossil Museum, (the project I have been working on behind the scenes for the past two years) still doesn’t have a clear install date, unfortunately. I have been able to catch up slightly, but with edits/adjustments and continued articulations, I am still trying to get everyone up to date. Hopefully I will make another announcement soon especially if you are on my waitlist for when my books reopen (that date is also now unclear due to the museum delays). TO BE CONTINUED…

Also, if you hadn’t seen, I celebrated my 7th year anniversary of doing pet memorials (and 10 years as a taxidermist!) I owe it all to my dearest, my very first pet tarantula and my client, Big Boi, the most precious orange tabby who allowed me to preserve his skeleton forever. Thank you… and especially thank YOU all. I always strive to do better and grow not only as a taxidermist and artist, but also as a person. Thank you for seeing me along this journey, for all the patience, and entrusting me with these projects

xo,
