Potter's Museum, Bramber, Sussex.

Fabulously crazy scenes of stuffed animals dressed in costumes and posed as humans. A man uses a brush to clean a stuffed squirrel and a stuffed tiny calf.

Various taxidermy scenes are shown including the kittens' wedding, the squirrels' club, kittens' tea party, bunnies' school room, all accurate down to the tiniest details. We also see Potter's famous "Who Killed Cock Robin" tableau which took seven years to complete. Children admire the tableaux and a young woman sketches.

Narrator states: "Walter Potter ... was a genius who made fur-lined dolls into whimsical but veritable works of poetic art." Wonderful or disgusting depending on your viewpoint but Potter was definitely one of the great English eccentrics.

Note: Potter's Museum still exists but is now at Jamaica Inn, Devon - JH 2000. It is claimed that all the animals met a natural death.

Cuts exist - see other record.

Kirsten Dunst is in it.  She's my favourite actress.  She's in loads of films, like Spiderman, and Lost in Transtation, oh wait, is that Scarlett Johannson. Yeah I think it is.

Anyway. Find out about it on IMdB.com just search BRING IT ON!

I love this artist, she makes things out of unconventional materials, not to wear, just to look at.

One of my prints that i made using real leaves. I like how the different leaves overlap and how the veins of the leaves stand out...
I used PVA to stick these all together and to try and preserve the leaves. I think this could make a realy nice neckpiece if it wasnt actual leaves.

This is some of my old work, i got my inspiration from sketleton leaves. all the colours i used give it an autumn feel. I used this fabric that disolved in water, so i could just sew all this then disolve the fabric so its like lace.
