I hope this is the right thread. I might have to make/create some of these items.
I'm considering putting together a taxidermy area for a future party. I've never collected items for anything like this. Obviously, you would want some stuffed or mounted animals. I don't know if this a very budget friendly idea. I just want the look of a room, it doesn't have to be very "true". I think I could get away with fabrics that look like leather/suede and fabrics that look like fur. I might combine the area with a curiosity cabinet of sorts. Since its summer, butterflies that have passed away might be easy to collect and mount. I don't know where I would find the bones/skeletons that you find in a lot of these scenes. I do have an old cow skull, and a couple of deer skulls found on our property, along with some antlers. I think I saw that someone posted that Homegoods had some boney decor. What kinds of tools would a taxidermist have? I imagine I could find lots of books, papers, posters that would go with the theme as well. I'll also look at reference photos of true taxidermy offices.
As far as the apothecary, I have some items (bottles, lights to highlight the bottles and old wooden boxes) already from a previous party. I'm going to need more bottles and I can print off more labels. I've seen a lot of apothecary's with hanging, drying plants. I can probably alter the outside of books, for spell books. What else would you include?
