Officially the clumsiest taxidermist every. My pinning board isn’t big enough for this beast so his wings slope down a bit. If anyone’s got any tips feel free to tell me what to do! #insects #entomology #artist #photography #cameraless #photogram #Cicada #nature #science #darkroom #wunderkammer #taxidermy #darkroomqueen #Lepidoptera #naturalhistory #etsyseller #etsy #prints #buglady #girlboss #photographer #smallbusiness #cantlivewithout #hellomonday #thecreativelife #creativehappylife #detailsoftheday #ilford #fujifilm

First attempt at relaxing and pinning these beauties. I don’t think I did too badly. They’re a bit damaged as the postie is a bit of an ass. But they’re still good! #insects #entomology #artist #photography #cameraless #photogram #Cicada #nature #science #darkroom #wunderkammer #taxidermy #darkroomqueen #Lepidoptera #naturalhistory #etsyseller #etsy #prints #buglady #girlboss #photographer #smallbusiness #cantlivewithout #hellomonday #thecreativelife #creativehappylife #detailsoftheday #ilford #fujifilm

I think next time smaller and more bugs.

Slightly misjudged how big this scarf would be, it’s easily the size of me 😂 but I do like them baggy. BUT just look at that print quality! I cannot wait to sew this and wear it. Who thinks I should list it? • • • #insects #entomology #artist #photography #cameraless #photogram #Cicada #nature #science #darkroom #wunderkammer #taxidermy #darkroomqueen #Lepidoptera #naturalhistory #etsyseller #etsy #prints #buglady #girlboss #photographer #smallbusiness #cantlivewithout #fabric #thecreativelife #creativehappylife #detailsoftheday #ilford #fujifilm

Today’s #marchmeetthemaker • how you started• the obsession with bugs started when I was 3 with my pet grasshopper jiminy, who I took everywhere with me in a jar 😂. I made my first photogram back in 2011 while studying fine art at Nottingham Trent university, naturally I fell in love with it and switched courses to the photography BA. Over the years I’ve perfected the style of my photograms and experimented along the way! I met some awesome friends *cough* @circus_witch and generally being a hobbit. • • • #makersgonnamake #waketomake #etsyuk #insects #entomology #artist #photography #macrophotography #canon #nature #science #wunderkammer #taxidermy #curiosities #Lepidoptera #naturalhistory #etsyseller #etsy #prints #oddity #etsyseller #smallbusiness #girlboss #buglady #photographer #nerd #supportsmallbusiness #smallshop #darkroomqueen

Day two of #marchmeetthemaker. •where?• I’m from a small town called worksop on the outskirts of Nottinghamshire, which is handy for landscape photography ⛰. I work from home in two rooms 🙊 as well as travelling back to Nottingham (where I lived for 4 years) to play in the darkroom • • • #makersgonnamake #waketomake #etsyuk #insects #entomology #artist #photography #macrophotography #canon #nature #science #wunderkammer #taxidermy #curiosities #Lepidoptera #naturalhistory #etsyseller #etsy #prints #oddity #etsyseller #smallbusiness #girlboss #buglady #photographer #nerd #supportsmallbusiness #smallshop #Scandinaviandesign
