You could sell your "art" on ebay. They sell for high prices on ebay. Here's a pic of a stuffed squirrel posted on ebay.

In my backyard, I have seen a wild turkey, many squirrels, racoons, skunks, birds, a ground hog, chipmunks, and a goshawk. The Goshawk smashed into my enlcosed porch window . And then broke another window trying to get out. I had to go into the porch and open a third window to let it out. And I live near the city.

I also have wild turkey along with deer that lay down and flatten my wife's flowers at night , red foxes, possum and plenty of birds that fly into our chimney and big bay window, bald eagles, raccoons and coyotes. I live on a bluff overlooking a river with woods only 50 yards away
