Abstract
A taxidermic eye-mounting method wherein moist paper-mache or the like is stuffed through the eye opening of a hallowed-out animal head such as a fish head. A slightly flexible eye socket of substantially rigid material which has been molded to receive an artificial eye is set in the eye opening in the moist paper-mache. A fish eye is popped into the eye socket after the paper-mache has dried. The eye socket is formed to resemble the eye lid and eye membrane of an open animal eye such as an open fish eye. The socket may be made by a method of forming a moldable, pliable, non-hardening material around the animal eye to create a model which emulates the eye lid and eye membrane of an open animal eye such as an open fish eye.
