Chicken butt.
Not sure if I'm inspired by 90's terminology or Chickenbutt Donuts -- either way...TA-DA!!
Does this earn me a lifetime supply of Chickenbutt Donuts ?!? 😂🍩🐥
A quick little snippet into creating this Sugar Plum Princess 👑
This sweet little lady is perched upon her steed that plays the tune "Sugar Plum Fairy" while spinning her around. There was some repair work needed on the unicorn so I sculpted new hooves and painted them to color match. I taxidermied the mouse and gave her a crown and scepter thanks to everyone's feedback.
This Princess will be available for adoption at @hopsandshops.sc on August 11th at @newbrooklandtavern from 12-4pm ~ mark your calendars!

This vintage bug display had definitely seen better days and seemed to have suffered some water damage. A lot of the insects needed cleaning and a good bit of repair along with the frame needing some serious TLC. Without compromising the integrity of the bugs, labels or frames -- I repaired everything as much as possible while trying to keep a hint of vintage charm. I personally always love keeping some aspects of the damage so that it can be ~perfectly imperfect~ so I kept the original water stained backing and labels.
I got to send this back to my bestie @transcendedtrinkets for their new home a *million* miles away. I miss you so much but I hope you could feel the love I sent your way

Ever have those days where it feels like nothing goes quite right? Yesterday was one of those days... it felt like every butterfly I pinned just wanted to fight me. I received some incredibly sad news of a friend's passing while pinning and had to stop. If there's anything I gained from being around the light of @rajkarot, it's to continue bringing positivity and love to everyone and everything. It's interesting...in many cultures, seeing a butterfly is a symbol of the soul of the deceased or a rebirth -- these butterflies are for you, Raj. 🦋
I really love opening up a dialogue with people who see my work for the first time and it evokes emotion -- sometimes it's joy, sometimes wonder and sometimes it's sadness. This is when we can really discuss how I'm not glorifying death, but glorifying the life it once lived. There's so much beauty in the natural world and I just want to showcase what Mother Nature has been doing all along. With life there is always death and there is so much life that can be appreciated & loved.
This terrarium preserving the beauty of nature featuring a possum skull and Luna Moth will be joining me at @cottontownartcrawl!

This big project has been in the works for weeks now and I can finally share a *snippet* of the process that went into it. Not only did I need to clean up the clock, but I also had to learn how to restore and set an antique wind up pendulum clock and adjust the chime. That's right folks, ITS A FUNCTIONING CLOCK 🙌✨️! Then came the fun part of creating a home and the mice taxidermy. Stay tuned for photos and the backstory of these two lovebirds!

This beautiful clock will be joining me at @yallmartsc on February 11th! Follow the chimes and ticking to find me 🕰
