Really jonesing for a craft stream but I have a nail appointment today and then will be playing D&D tonight. But definitely tomorrow I will be working on finishing this guy! #taxidermy #terrarium #curio #insectart #taxidermyart #vultureculture #craftstream

working on getting this baby listed on etsy - I love it so much!! 👀 what do you think?! #taxidermy #entomology #insectart #butterfly #crystal #curio #oddities #terrarium #fossil #handmade #taxidermyart

I would love to find a taxidermied sleeping mouse to use in a terrarium. I have had an idea for a specific scene for over a year but have not been able to find the perfect mouse for it 👀 Any suggestions? (Must be ethically sourced) #taxidermy #vultureculture #mouse #taxidermyart

I just ordered some really amazing quail eggs and I can't wait to show them off in a terrarium 👀🤗

Another little ASMR video for you of a different ornament style I have available! Apothecult.etsy.com #taxidermy #terrarium #holidaygift #shopsmall #handmade #curio #oddities #entomology

I had an idea that I *need* to create and until I can it is boring a hole in my brain

New listing posted today! I just finished this one today and ended up really liking how it turned out! what other colour combos do you want to do see in the ornament styles? www.etsy.com/listing/4408...

this one isn't available anymore but I have 7 others to choose from 👀 apothecult.etsy.com

Need gift ideas?? Check out my shop and give something unique, handmade, and not from a corporation 😎 Apothecult.etsy.com #shopsmall #apothecult #curio #oddities #taxidermy #terrarium #rainbow #entomology

what do you guys think of ASMR tours of terrariums? Filming it makes it seem like it's actually real and I have to be quiet or the butterfly is going to fly away at any second 🦋 #taxidermy #terrarium #curio #oddities #asmr #handmade #midwestartist #entomology #witchyaesthetic #vultureculture

Thank you everyone who came out to stream!! I ran out of moss so we had to call it a day but will hopefully be back Friday with another stream and maybe to finish this up? #artstream #vintage #twitch #handmade #curio #oddities

help me decide what type of butterflies I should use on this piece! I'm thinking these blue ones but I also have some that are orange-y that might make the peach pop?? deciding on bugs is the hardest part of making a terrarium. there's too many choices! #taxidermy #terrarium #curio #oddities

I promise I'm really not that hard to shop for this Christmas season. If you wanted to get me all the blue morphos I would be so thrilled! Buying from a small business is so much cooler than a large corporation - I mean who doesn't want something one of a kind over mass produced? 😉

I made my first listing!! I'm so excited for my lil Etsy journey 🤗 check it out and lemme know what you think!! (Be nice pls) apothecult.etsy.com

I'm setting up an etsy shop! I am hoping this might be a good way for folks to see what is available and be easier to bring some of these guys to your home! apothecult.etsy.com

lil shaky transitions but I'm l am dying over how perfect this lantern turned out. I was having trouble thinking of colour combinations and was suggested to do Lamptern the Pokémon, so here it is 💜 #taxidermy #curio #oddities #vultureculture #terrarium #handmade #skulls #pokemon

working on another lantern today that I am calling "the bluest flame". this one is HUGE and I can't decide how many butterflies to put in - the more the better right? 🦋 #taxidermy #terrarium #butterfly #vultureculture #curio #oddities #witchyarts #handmade

Super excited to announce that I was accepted to be a vendor at worldodditiesexpo.com for Kansas City and Springfield! It's gonna be a fantastic way to kick off 2026 and I can't wait to start planning what to make/bring with me. see you there! 💜 #WOE #worldodditiesexpo #taxidermy #vultureculture
