In my quest to create a dark fantasy bedroom, I had hit a road block while trying to find interesting decor for my walls. I had my choice of thousands of prints that I could frame, but I wanted something more than traditional wall art – something odder and much more unique.
Then one afternoon at my day job, I discovered a wonderful shop called Yetis & Friends. Drawing inspiration from folklore, 80’s fantasy films, and Dungeons & Dragons, Cody Williams & Nana Williams create furry little creatures mounted on plaques like hunting trophies.
Finally, after months of drooling over these creatures, I was able to purchase one at ScareLA. It ended up being the perfect addition to my bedroom. I have named him Cornelius.
These creatures are made of very soft fur, felt, plastic, and some leathery-like material for the horns. They are mounted on a very light-weight wood – making it easy to securely hang on the wall. Averaging anywhere from $110 – $200 (depending on the style), these items are pricey, but worth every penny. They are well-crafted, sturdy, and fantastic conversation pieces.
What makes these creatures even more special is the thought put behind every trophy. Each creature is slightly different and unique; being hand-created, Yetis & Friends can even accommodate custom orders. Additionally, every critter has lore associated with it. When you claim your trophy, you receive a hand-written certification like this:
It is a wonderful little memento with just enough to spark your imagination with the story surrounding its capture. The opposite side depicts a map of the region where the creature can be found (but only by lucky hunters from the guild).
Yetis & Friends consistently has a wide variety of trophies to choose from on their Etsy page, and they tour SoCal at local craft fairs, art shows, and, of course, ScareLA. I hope you all check out their website and shop – you will not be disappointed!
