Specimens! 🦋 I’m very proud of myself for putting these together. *Both the dragonfly and butterfly were found already dead in my back yard* The monarch is a little worse for wear but I thought they were both so beautiful that they needed to be preserved. I couldn’t find much on how to preserve a butterfly but I did soak the dragonfly in acetone. I glued both on to some fabulous orange card stock and spruced up some flowery paper with markers and gold pen to make the borders and there we have it. Now they’re both residing on our bedroom wall 😍 #butterflyspecimen #dragonflyspecimen #amateurspecimens #amateurpreserver #monarchbutterfly #danielesmithart https://www.instagram.com/p/B40SwciDDfb/?igshid=1sgblw9j029c0

Time for some #marchmeetthemaker day 1 #favouritetomake but I'm way behind 🙈 I'm Laurie, I'm an Irish 26-year-old DIY gal/painter/tryer/upcycler/writer 😊 I have a lot of favourites! Its hard to pick just one, though my favourite pursuit at the moment is the entomology frames 😍 I have always had a connection to butterflies, my whole life I've just been drawn to them? End of 2018 I decided to finally try my hand at framing some ethically sourced specimens for myself, and I fell even more in love with them and this process of reanimating something that has died, bringing it back to life in a weird way. From the butterflies I moved on to framing beetles, which before practicing entomology, I had no idea how stunning an insect they are 😍 it has opened me up to new creations in such an educational and beautiful way, with great respect for the fact that you are taking something that is no longer living and magically creating something that lets the specimen live on in a new way. Ethically sourcing specimens is something very important to me, I was nervous to join the community and meet rage or mean comments from those that think taxidermy is wrong, but instead I've found this artform that is so intricate and detailed that I am so interested in. There is so much talent in the taxidermy world and I'm so glad to be working towards becoming a part of it 💜 #entomology #butterflyspecimen #mmtm #favouritetomake https://www.instagram.com/myrabidwonder/p/ButvTUwlDKQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17yudhwawkqkx

When I was in college I actually got a real framed butterfly from a kiosk at the mall and on my 30th bday my dear high school teacher gave me a really nice one but its at my parents house in the Philippines. Ive used two frames for this one and it worked just how I imagined it inside my head 😍😍😍 . Sometimes I just want to play with miniatures all day but i need to stamp seals!!! 😂😂😂 #butterfly #butterflyspecimen #framedbutterfly #miniature #miniaturebutterfly #handmade #sallysheartfulcreations
