Sewing takes the stage in Mooncie's second book of faux-taxidermy animal-head trophies (her first, Animal Heads, focused on crocheted pieces). Included are 15 different heads, ranging from familiar domestic and farm animals such as cats, horses, rabbits, and pigs to exotic wildlife such as elephants, giraffes, and crocodiles. Each animal head features illustrated instructions that walk through the intricate construction process. Mooncie's creative use of fabrics, including repurposed garments, gives the projects dimension, texture, and color. An overview of basic sewing skills, as well as photocopier-friendly patterns, are included in an appendix.
VERDICT Experienced sewists can take a walk on the wild side with these clever projects.
