My gallery exhibit ended today. I can't say if I will have another opportunity to display my work in a show like that again. It has been bittersweet.Thank you to everyone that made it out to see my work in person. ❤️ #insectjewelry #insectart #sciart #beenecklace #bee #slowmade #jewelrymaker

My exhibit at Kentuck Art Center will be on display for just a few more days. It has been such an honor to share my art in the gallery. ❤️ #insectjewelry #artgallery #art #artexhibit #electroforming #jewelryartist #artjewelry

I'm turtle sitting for my neighbor while they are away. Yesterday, Tulip was really enjoying the view from the porch so I let her explore the yard. She loved it. #turtle #babyanimals #naturephoto #reptiles #tortoise

I found this pretty moth in the parking lot yesterday. She was dying so I put her on my African violet so she could be somewhere comfortable. 😔 I will place her in one of my shadow boxes to preserve her beauty. #moth #entomology #insects #curio

I finished another chain for a pretty dragonfly pendant. (This dragonly was hand sculpted and electroformed.) I'm really enjoying the chain making process. I find it relaxing. #slowmadejewelry #handmadejewelry #dragonflynecklace #electroforming #insectjewelry #copperjewelry #fairycorejewelry

Happy friday! This week got away from me and I didn't get a lot made but managed to finish this butterfly necklace. Handmade copper chain and real #electroformed butterfly pendant #electroforming #insectjewelry #sciart #vintagestyle #handmadejewelry #forestjewelry #curiojewelry #butterflynecklace

First look at handmade copper ladder chain. It takes time to make the links but I prefer the look of it better than premade options. What do you think? #butterflynecklace #insectjewelry #insectart #sciart #curiosityjewelry #electroforming #copperjewelry #butterflyjewelry #handmadejewelry #maker

I did my first silver coated cicada pendant yesterday. Here is a clip of the process. Watch until the end to see final results. #electroforming #cicada #insectart #insectjewelry #sciart #art #handmadejewelry #copperarts #copperjewelry #jewelrymaker #maker #naturejewelry #jewelrydesign #artprocess

I found this tiny dragonfly while visiting my mom yesterday. I have never seen one like this before. It was so cute!!! #dragonfly #entomology #insects #bug #naturephoto #gardening #innature

I found a small leak in my roof during the storm today. Luckily, it is still under warranty so the roofer will be out tomorrow to seal it up. In the meantime, I will enjoy the rain and continue working. #naja #insectjewelry #sciart #beejewelry #electroforming #insectart #jewelryartist #turquoise

Shiny copper cicada fresh out of the tank. I can't wait to show you the final results. #sciart #animalart #insectjewelry #insectart #electroforming #copperartist #jewelrymaker #cicadajewelry #cicada #goblincore #fantasyjewelry #curio

Real butterfly pendant with gorgeous rainbow patina 🦋❤️ Trying to stop the patina on a certain color is tricky, but sometimes you can get amazing results. #electroforming #butterflyjewelry #insectart #insectjewelry #fantasyjewelry #fairycore #sciart #animalart

Good night. 🍀🌜 #plantjewelry #leafjewelry #electroforming #luckycharm #luckyclover #4leafclover #lucky

The process video for cicada *I give them a new life through my art. ❤️🌿🐝 I do not source from farms. I only use what I am lucky enough to find or what is gifted to me by friends and family. #electrforming #insectjewelry #insectart #cicada #curio #goblincore #jewelrymaker #sciart #process

Cicada pendant with fresh patina. What do you guys think? #electroforming #insectjewelry #insectart #sciart #fantasyjewelry #jewelrydesigner #cicada #animalart

Turquoise is one of my favorite stones. I will start chaining these up soon. 💙🐝 #turquoise #bees #beenecklace #insectjewelry #insectart #sciart #inspiredbynature #goblincore #handmadejewelry #bugart

Little dragonfly I sculpted the body for this one and wings were cast. I think it looks pretty darn good. More good things in the works. #insectjewelry #dragonfly #insectart #bioart #natureart #curiosityjewelry #goblincore #handmadejewelry #jewelryartist #maker #copperjewelry #electroforming

Have you ever found a 4 leaf clover? I have quite a collection and decided to make one into a pendant. Before I assemble anything, I need a good deposit of copper and that starts with a coat of paint. #wip #jewelrymaker #naturejewelry #4leafclover #plantart #curio #lucky

Flashy labradorite pendant 😍💎❤️ #handmadejewelry #labradorite #copperjewelry #electroforming #jewelryartist #goblincore #inspiredbynature

Another bee finished for upcoming exhibit. 🌻🐝❤️ My mom finds them around the garden so I'm happy I can give them a new life. #bee #curio #goblincore #fairystyle #insectart #insectjewelry #beejewelry #naturejewelry #jewelrymaker #maker

I just finished this little bee pendant 🌻🌿❤️ #bioart #insectart #insectjewelry #curio #goblincore #beejewelry #bee #natureart #maker #jewelryartist

I have prepped several insects for the tank using conductive paint and liqiud latex to protect the gemstones. I keep them organized in marker storage containers I got from Dollar Tree. #copperartist #handmadejewelry #natureartist #bioart #insectart #curio #electroforming

My tank is back up and running. I finished this dragonfly pendant yesterday. Watch until the end of the video to see the final results. #dragonfly #insectjewelry #handmadejewelry #electroforming #curio #jewelrymaker #smallbatchjewelry #naturejewelry #naturesart

My orchids are reblooming! One still had the flower spike from last year and this year's blooms grew on the very end. Now it's super long. I had no idea they could do that. They seem very happy. ❤️😍 #orchids #flowers #plants #indoorplants #flowersky #plantmom #blooms #houseplants

Today's #strawberry harvest ❤️🍓 #berries #fruit #homegrown #gardening #tristarstrawberry #gardensky

I made a digital photo kiosk for my gallery show with a 32in tv I bought at the thrift store. I built the frame with moulding from Lowes and used a raspberry pi5 to create the video slideshow to loop on boot. It turned out great!

I found these cool seed pods at the botanical garden. I plan to create a few pendants with them. #seed #naturalobject #botany #plants #inthegarden

The azaleas at the botanical garden were so beautiful. #flowers #flowersky #naturesky #gardening #spring #azaleas #botany

Some of the beautiful national parks I have visited. ❤️ It is a shame how these places will most likely fall into ruin so they can be sold off to private investors when all is said and done. #nationalparks #landscapes #conservation #protect #nationaltreasures #nature #landscapephotography

I'm deeply saddened that places like this may not exist in the future. Our national parks and land should be protected. Millions from all over the world visit the US each year to see these beautiful places. How are national parks the problem? #nationalparks #naturesky #joshuatree #nature

I do not post political things but Zelenskyy is a hero holding the line for all of Eastern Europe. I have never been more disappointed in our leadership. Their true colors have been revealed and now the whole world knows where they stand. #zelenskyy #hero #ukraine #supportukraine

First crocus bloomed today in my garden ❤️ #crocus #flowersky #flowers #blooms #spring #gardening #gardensky

Flaahback of gorgeous cicada pendant. The patina did not stay on this one but glad I was able to capture it before it changed. #sciart #insectjewelry #curio #artsky #art #maker #animalart #goblincore #jewelryartist #handmadejewelry #bugsky #cicada #insects #natureart
