Interesting red head

[Ratcatcher]

I shot this just coming out of velvet 2 years ago, left it where it was as we struggled to move it even with the head removed, I've just retrieved it and think it looks pretty good, I'm leaving the moss on I think?

 

[Gandy]

I like that

 

[MidlandsPaperPuncher]

That looks fantastic!

Beautiful, in its own unique way.
Is there some method that can be used to preserve it like that?

I'm just leaving it in the garage for the moment, it's perfectly dry, wether the moss will change colour or disintegrate only time will tell, I'm tempted to stick it on a wall when I'm sure there won't be bits everywhere?

I was wondering if you could use some of that fixative spray that's for spraying into chalk or pastel artwork?

Not sure, I'm going to leave it as is for a while and take it from there, I'm tempted to do this with another one to be honest

Far more interesting redhead….. model Jodie beard ( tap the image) …… Yes I’m into model photography these days

I don’t think that is preservable as it stands.
The Lichen and moss will dry out and lose colour. If you cover it in acetate, you will need to get the moisture content down to below 10% and still protect it from the sun.
Put it up outside and enjoy it while it lasts.

It does look cool, not sure I'd be allowed that in the house though!

I still have terrific memories of a certain red head.

I'm guessing she didn't have mossy antlers!

Indeed not, she was however a REAL redhead, with temper and action to match. 5'11" willowy with legs as long as the M1.

Tell us the truth, was it Angela Rayner

That is about the biggest insult I've had in recent years. I wouldn't touch that with a sterilsed barge pole, and she would't yet have crawled out of her daddies rutting tube at that time. He should have had a vasectomy.
