Special edition (today) versus original edition. Much has changed: I’m doing my own casting, have better tools, and have better understanding of finishing. Inside, these bugs are totally different—the rear pairs of legs are now cast separately and assembled to increase control and details. Growth!

New piece in the works!!! 🛠️ Channeling insect glamour… 🖤 #InverteFest #InsectArt #MixedMediaArt #AssemblageArt #Sculpture

A new hare sculpture, in the works! 🛠️🖤🛠️

Ornamental detailing on a tiny turtle shell, in progress. 🛠️🐢🛠️ An interesting detail on this one, is that the marginal scutes (the plates that make up the edges of the shell) have been removed, showing the lovely little spikes that hold all the “puzzle pieces” together. #WorldTurtleDay

Here’s a friendly little pal, in honor of #WorldTurtleDay ✨🐢✨

Have you ever been bitten by a dead piranha? Yes. Yes, I have. 😅 #UnusualOccupationalHazards

Scoobie the Skull, named by my youngest collector (age 7 when he got this piece.) It was a gift from his Grandmother. She commissioned this sculpture after he found this skull on her farm. 🖤 #Art #sculpture #Skull #Bone #Taxidermy #Oddities #VultureCulture #jessicajoslin

Memorial commission in honor of a beautiful and beloved Great Dane named Kaya. 🖤 Many years after she passed, her memory was still cherished, and it was an honor to reunite her with family in her second life. To do this, I used a replica skull, love, and magic. 🖤 #petmemorial #jessicajoslin
