It has been said that eyes are windows into the soul the soul. As taxidermists, we probably understand this more than anyone. Through our hands-on experience, we know that the eyes of a startled animal have a completely different look than those of a relaxed animal. Very slight position changes, such a raising or lowering an eyelid an eighth of an inch, can produce a totally different expression. As sculptors, my wife and I spend countless hours studying minute details in animals that will give lifelike expression to our sculptures.
