Trying to incorporate more natural beauty into these frames subtly,

I have some very fine chipped Olivina as head and footer embellishment on this 24k gilded frame.

The pale green should play off well with the very pale colour of the Luna Moth.

That was my thoughts whilst playing around with placement and selecting the individual pieces.

Goals for 2025

Firstly a big thank you to all followers on my social media pages and a massive thank you to my customers over the years.

2024 has been a bit of a chaotic rollercoaster, to say the least.

2025 I will be handraising more specimens in the spring to move more into ethical Taxidermy.

I do take care to find reputable sources for specimens, but raising my own is rewarding in many ways, more importantly to provide naturally deceased Specimen stock for my frames.

I will continue to grow my stock levels to work towards a public return, but also look at online platforms for a further reach and support in the future to come.

Looking forward to a prosperous 2025 ✨️

🌟 New Frame 🌟

Immortalised forever more, Mr Wriggly is now framed.

He will be the first of many Deathshead Hawk Moths I rear next year, but will forever be cherished on my own Gallery wall.

The highlight of his journey for me was coming into my workplace with me for everyone to see how beautiful his caterpillar colouration and markings were, before going into his big boy mesh cage for more space.

Time has flown and November is nearly on us,

My best achievement of this year was hand rasing a single Deathshead Hawk Moth from egg to adult.

Looking forward to 2025 🥳

Leesland park fest is coming up, due to the weather fluctuation I have decided not to partake this year as excessive heat, direct sunshine and humidity is damaging for the frames specimens.

The first stall attempt was a lesson many things were learnt from 😅

I will be looking at inside Autumnal craft fair options and will keep you posted.

Thanks for everyone's on going support and patience, it is always appreciated xx
