Real Bugs in Reused Bottles

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! :)

I create whimsical floral insect displays within repurposed bottles, jars, vials, and other glass containers. All of my insect specimens are ethically-sourced: purchased from conservation projects, salvaged from obsolete vintage collections, or found outside post-mortem. I dry my own floral material or reuse synthetic flowers, and all display containers once served to hold food or spices. In creating these little worlds from recycled material, I hope to give them a second life so they may continue to be treasured by others for years to come.
