Client shot an antelope and cut the cape far too short for a desired shoulder mount. Choices for a mount are either replacement cape or come up with something creative. Here’s the creative choice the client let me run with. Tanned the cape and mounted to a head form. Attached the mount to an authentic Trapper Nelson pack. With this pack I used the original canvas bag, which I typically discard for most packboard mounts, and stuffed it with a wool blanket to make it appear the rest of the animal is inside. Real happy how it turned out, but more importantly the client loved it.
Thank you for the work.
HAPPY Father’s Day everyone!
