Galloglaigh Autumn Shroud Set

Yesterday Darren and I set up what could be the last ever shroud set featuring a rat I found dead in our carport and Robyn’s Rosella. We also finally collected the Winter Lace Monitor well and truly mummified and no longer diabolically smelly. It had been decomposing on canvas for nearly 7 months (since August 25th 2024)! Our first attempt to collect this shroud occurred with Angela filming and featured the collection of the pigeon and ringtail shroud on the 26th October 2024. I was so upset due to accidently deleting all the excellent photos I took of the pigeon and ringtail so well dried out! All I have as reference for painting are the film stills from Angie’s film! Eight weeks later we collected the last shroud. The rat and rosella had melted, skulls revealed.
