Artemis is hands down my best eBay find. A tannery was having a going out of business auction. They had some really nice stuff (deer shoulder mounts, coyote pelts) but Artemis punched me in the throat. The auction ended well under the price of a mountable badger on the market: $74 + shipping.

She's fully mountable, even her lady bits are intact. She was skinned and tanned extremely well. It's the best work I've seen on a pelt.

I decided to go ahead and take pictures of her today because she's getting shipped out for mounting on Monday ! I'm gonna miss my little girl for the next few months, but when she gets back she'll be a fully posable soft mount !!
