Moody Broken Heart Centipedes For Meg! This piece features two Scolopendra morsitans (commonly known as the red-headed centipede, java centipede and many other common names) with a preserved spider web background

I’m sure you can tell the smaller guy was giving me some struggles but I’m still very happy with how the product ended up, I really enjoyed working with Meg on bringing her creative vision to life!

Class has been completed! Thank you to the beautiful women that attended my very first class, I had lots of fun and you were such an amazing group to work with! (i’ll post photos of the completed domes as they come through, unfortunately making entomology art isn’t a one day process) I hope I was able to spread some passion for creating wonderful art and appreciation for our bug world! Would love to host you girls again!! And a big thank you for Kat from weird and unusual domes for helping me out with the class and helping me have thing opportunity to share my love of art and critters with the community!

We will start planning another class in the future but as of now dates are undetermined.

Vintage Mini Frames | All Have Sold
-
These cute little frames feature butterfly wings, dragon fly wings and a preserved spider web. They were so fun and easy to make that they’ll definitely be coming back (maybe not vintage ones as these were thrifted and I imagine will be a hard thing to find again but will definitely have more mini frames soon!)
-
I definitely didn’t forget to record the end products 🥲
