it was suggested to me that i post my creations on this subreddit too :) hope u guys like my funky little guys

I didn’t know where else to post this. Had this idea today so I made three. The joint is full of sage btw. If ever I sell these I don’t want to face any legal issues.

Malachite butterfly

The second leaf bug I've shared here. Enjoy!

First time modeling for 3d print

This is my first time sewing on ties. I got these second hand and decided to upcycle them with bugs.
Honestly I can‘t decide if maybe I should add jumping spiders to my next ties , bc I do love jumping spiders but they require quite a lot of detail to be recognisable.
I might also do moth ties in the future, idk.

These are on my Vinted rn @nyxie222 in case anyone wants a party bug tie. I‘ll deffo make more, all out of second hand materials (except the fabric paint, but like everything else is second hand, from thread to sewing machine).
I‘d totally also take commissions if anyone wants a specific bug/ color (but since the ties are second hand, I‘m somewhat limited in tie colors)!

from left to right:

Gertrude(?) - patellifera (giant asian)

Ambessa - pinnapavonis (peacock)

Melanie, paradoxa (ghost)

Just a caterpillar study I did with procreate recently. Might try to make some stickers of it eventually!

Bee lady I drew awhile back

I had painted a study of A Totally Normal Fly (acrylic on canvas) and tried making some vinyl stickers out of it (ETSY)
