We love our gothic frames but we are feeling a change incoming 😱

Starting soon our gothic frames will come in the same style as our "standard" range, including a very stylish black internal frame mount 🖤

This means we will have a uniformed style throughout our whole range of frames, meaning we can also increase the amount of insects / butterflies offered in this style 🥳

You can still choose to have with or without the metal corner decals 🥰

Antherina Suraka or better known as the Madagascan Bullseye moth. For those of you who have been around a while, you’ll know these are one of my favourite species of moth (you’ll see my absolute favourite later this week).

They are easy to raise (commonly on privet), non feeding adults and look sensational. You can find some videos of these threat displaying on my reels posts. Back on sale via the website 🧡💛

I’ll be doing a huge upload this week, ready for those Christmas orders 👀. We’ve also invested a lot into new species this last month, an improved frame design (better hanger and also a stand) which will be arriving soon as well as an improved gothic frame design with more species available.

I am in awe at how red these atlas moths are 😍 I mean wow!! The level of red/orange they can be varies wildly but these are by far some of the reddest I’ve had. Limited stock ❤️

Literally my favourite species and one of my first tarantulas! I’m a huge fan of dwarf species and Cyriocosmus elegans (Love Heart Butt) especially so I was over the moon when asked to preserve this little one.

What do you think? Shall we start offering this mini dome for pet commissions? It is oh so adorable 🥹

I can’t believe so soon after opening up commissions again and with a price increase, how many of you have submitted requests 🥺 I am very honoured you all trust me so much 💕 sometimes running a business can really get you down but little reminders like this are so nice.

Sweet little mantis commission. This lady was missing a feeler when she came to us so don’t panic! Now back home 💚

We’ve got so many videos to share with you of what we’ve been up to and will be adding new insects to our website this month 😁

It’s such a nice feeling to be almost caught up on commissions. I have now replied to everyone on my waitlist, if you haven’t yet, please fill in the booking form on the website (under pet commissions) to book your slot. I’ll be contacting everyone this week to arrange getting to me 💕

Thanks everyone for your patience. I think the new format will speed things up and make life easier for all involved.

Moon Moth Commission finished today. Both moths were raised by the customer and I’ve preserved them after they have died 💛 Preserved with their cocoons along with flowers we have dried in house 🧡



Speaking of… commissions! I bet some of you are wondering how I’m getting on. Well my books are still closed however the good news is I’ve really been cracking on. As it stands so far this month I have completed well over 30 frames, resin and domes. Next week should see me finishing off hopefully another 10-15 and I’ll be almost there. I would also like to finish off some skeleton builds before opening back up.

Which brings me on to resin, I’ve unfortunately had to stop working with resin for the moment. Even with PPE I’ve struggled with a side effects from it and right now it just isn’t worth the risk to my health.

✨ OPEN DATE - I’m planning to open commissions again mid/late October. This isn’t guaranteed and I may open back up in stages (taking frames first) but please do keep an eye out on your inboxes if you are on my waitlist in a few weeks time. All prices and options are on the website.✨



Thanks for all your patience and for trusting me so much with your wonderful pets 💕

Our Story

I’ve always had a keen passion for art and making things. Studying Art and Photography in both High School and College gave me a good base to build and grow my skills.

Last year I decided I wanted to make my best friend something special for Christmas, instead of the usual shop bought bottle of rum or craft equipment. After a lot of thought and searching on the internet, I stumbled upon a stunning blue butterfly that was ready to be set into some kind of art. This is what stemmed my idea to preserve it in a glass bell jar.

I had previously seen people do similar things, however I wanted to make mine a little different. With the help of my partner, we ordered all the items we needed and started to create the final product.

We were really happy with how it turned out, so I posted it on Facebook and Instagram to see what people thought. We got a lot of really nice feedback, which is how DeadSet Co. was founded. The rest is history...
