How do you dissect a fairy? I'm looking for ideas on how to make parts etc. for display.
I just got back from Dragaon*Con and had an idea to show some examples of dissected faeries and to preserve some in pickling jars with formaldehyde. I am seriously considering this as part of a quirky steam punk scientific venture/personna. So where can I get fairy parts, internal organs to pickle. How would I make little faery corpses? I might even consider making pressed faeries. I think this would be a diabolically hilarious expression of my steampunky-ness. Any ideas on where I could go with this?
This is a legitimate idea for sculpture which involves the steampunk motif with an eye towards satirizing those interested in faeries. By doing scientific biological experiments on them - dissecting them, preserving them, collecting them like one collects insects, I hope to build a set of pseudo scientific looking experiments on faeries. I would even consider doing electrical stimulation of faerie limbs and wings with a Tesla coil.
This is to be dark satire with an aim for the bizarre. It should fit in with the "insane scientist" concept I am adopting for my steampunk personna - a sort of "Charles Darwin" or "Doctor Victor Frankenstein" like character that went awry.
I would really like your help on fleshing this out (so to speak)
