This Guy Took His Old Stuffed Animals And Turned Them Into...Art?

A lot of us had collections of stuffed animals when we were kids. They were a source of comfort, of companionship, and of course, they're also pretty adorable. But what happens to those once prized possessions when we grow up?  

Ian Cox of Mozy Store on Etsy, recently came across a huge old collection of stuffed animals and Beanie Babies. Relics from childhoods past, he wanted to come up with a way to preserve them. He decided to preserve them like others do real animals - with taxidermy. The playful form of art is certainly more humane than the traditional sense but you can definitely see the connection between these two types of "stuffed animals."
