I doodled this back in 2013, and am finally making it a reality... only, I’m getting a tad carried away and my project has grown a bit. The final piece will be unveiled at next year’s Bug Fair, but I’ll share my progress along the way. Big projects are good for the soul and I’m determined to enter the new year feeling hopeful and inspired. #BugLuv #bugluvphotography #cetoniadesigns #mantis #prayingmantis https://www.instagram.com/p/BrYWq_yAF4s/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hpgk35lpwtoe

Hey friends. It’s been ages but I’ll FINALLY have my Etsy store back open and FULLY stocked with all sorts of new goodies THIS SATURDAY, October 6th (the birthday of my Grandma and the hatch date of Baby, my precious potato of a gecko) at 12:00pm PST. Quantities are limited and I can’t promise I’ll be able to make more before the holidays, so if you see something you like, grab it! ❤️ #cetoniadesigns #spider #tarantula #enamelpins #jumpingspiders #insects #etsy #etsyshop https://www.instagram.com/p/BoaGbD0AEQv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aepdncqpdpq8

With tomorrow’s Etsy update, I will also have postcards sets available! I always sell these at shows, but this is my first time making them available online. A few people have asked me for them, so I’m finally doing it! Haha. #cetoniadesigns #bugluvphotography #etsy #macrophotography #spiders #jumpingspider #postcards https://www.instagram.com/p/BokI88vA7d0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1160rfsedlf1n

Photo of the world’s most awkward Jenn by the wonderful @kerikilgo. I feel like such a fool... I immediately crumble whenever someone points a camera at me. This was me trying not to laugh or cry. I’m grateful despite my awkwardness because I would never ask for a photo of my table even when I very much want them. So thank you, Keri! Always! Aaaaand, I sold a ton at the show, but I made SO MUCH that I also have a ton left over! I need a few days to catch up on sleep and regroup, but then I’ll start getting pins, jumping spiders, plaques and much more listed in my Etsy store. I promise to post here before anything goes live! ❤️❤️❤️ #cetoniadesigns #bugfair

So, @etsy is raising all of their fees. As it is, I charge the bare minimum I can for my pieces, but a fee hike will mean me having to raise prices all across the board, which I’d really hate to have to do. I’m in the process of editing all my photos and putting listings together, but with this news find myself asking if I should keep my Etsy store going (which I’d love to do as I’ve been with them for YEARS now) or explore other options. Does anyone have any experience with bigcartel or storeenvy? Pros? Cons? Thoughts? I need to get my listings live sooner rather than later so I can afford missing work for Comicon, but am no less never sure what the best route is to sell my wares. #etsy #bigcartel #storeenvy #smallbusiness #independantartist #cetoniadesigns

I finally got these in my hands today and I kinda sorta love them. My Lili and Crayon, immortalized as pins! The first ones will be for sale this weekend at the Bug Fair! The rest will be in the ol’ Etsy store next week! #pins #enamelpins #pingamestrong #tarantulas #grammostolapulchra #caribenaversicolor #bugluv #cetoniadesigns
