Respecting the deceased. Eternalizing beauty. Crafted with love.

My story

Welcome!🖤

My name is Nicole and I run Nicole Redfox Oddities!! I started my business in September 2024, with the goal to honor creatures post-mortem beauty, and to show off how cool dead things can be!

I created this shop due to chronic illnesses overtaking my life, making it hard for me to hold down a steady job. I am so happy that I have found this passion and can share with others, as this has given me a new reason for living and loving life.

I am creating one of a kind insect taxidermy artwork, displays, and oddities. I love to incorporate gothic/vintage pieces to my art, however I can create many different styles to suit your needs.

Each piece is unique and will not be replicated the same.

I make it a point to use antique/vintage items as my most used medium due to overall quality and timeless look they provide. I go antiquing a lot to gather brassware and frames. I do go to estate sells as well, and utilize online sources for those items.

(*Vintage/antique frames, candle holders, candelabras will have signs of wear to them
*Most vintage frames are bubble/convex glass but will note in each description/title if it has bubble or flat glass

*Ethically sourced insects and animal products guaranteed)

I am accepting commissions as well. Feel free to reach out to discuss your ideas, or any questions you may have regarding what I could do for you. Please use the “Get in Touch” prompt to reach out, or email me at nicoleredfoxxx@gmail.com :)

I hope that you can enjoy my creations and also be proud to display a piece of my artwork should you choose to take one home.

Thank you for the support! 🖤

Handled and sourced with love and care

I obtain my specimens by foraging, friends/family, or from other small businesses around the world who practice ethical sourcing methods.

My specimen are ALWAYS ethically sourced. Nothing is killed for the purpose of my art, natural death only.

When choosing other small businesses for supplies, I make sure that I pick suppliers who are trustworthy and do not participate in killing for the sake of selling animal/insect product. This can be done with heavy research on the seller, as well as word of mouth from others in the industry who participate with high ethical standards.

Please take care in researching the sources of your specimen if you partake in collecting insects, bones, and oddities.

I only use ethically sourced insects (such as those from repopulation-effort insect farms) and bones from suppliers that I trust, as I feel that this is the proper way to honor these beautiful creatures post-mortem.


I obtain most of my insect specimen dried and folded, and I go through the rehydration process and spreading/mounting myself.

If you have any further questions regarding my ethicality, or have questions/need advice on this topic, please reach out using the “Get in Touch” prompt :)

PS:

The red fox pelt I typically have on display at my events was ethically sourced by my father in Sand Point, AK in the late 90s. She was found already deceased on the beach. She is not for sale.
