Newst finished piece- inspired by the end of summer and this strange handmade pot I found at the thrift store. Someone must have donated their old projects or those of a loved one because there was a massive collection of similar work- this one in particular spoke to me. The mechanics of the arrangement are disguised and elevated so you can still peer through the holes in the bowl. Id like to think the original potter wanted them to be a focal point and wanted the admirer to peek through the holes so I wanted to keep them clear.


As usual, I love hiding lots of bugs in my work. See how many you can spot! Hint: there are 7 real specimens and one faux one leaving a slimey little trail. (One beetle, one brown widow, two butterflies, one American cockroach, two dainty bees and a snail.)

Any way you turn it there is something new to look at!

Acrylic Hexagon "Cloche", solid wood base

Come find me here today ObscureHouston Oddities Market! This piece will be available there!

Bull thistle, real honeycomb, dahlias, smoke bush, grevillea, eucalyptus, red trumpet vine, antique roses and a few other plants & fillers. Having access to beautiful flowers at Mayesh Houston has really helped me expand my designs.

Exciting news! After years of requests I finally have a tiny corner of the internet to myself as a fybe. | no ai arts marketplace approved vendor. If you cant catch me at an event local to you or need a gift for any occasion you can now shop online with me!

Ive spent the last few days uploading a small selection of unique insect frames, vintage trinkets and some medical goodies from historic local pharmacies (Tristram in Brenham and Star in Galveston). One of my favorite features about Fybe is that it is a NO AI platform so everything is human made and approved. This means each listing I upload goes through a human verification which can take a little time. Right now my shop only shows a single listing but I promise I have so many more that are pending approval and should be live soon!

Check out the shop here or at the link in my bio ⬇️
https://fybe.art/seller/beasties-baubles/

Dont be shy with feedback, the platform is new and ive also never had a single designated space for my work so if you have any issues with listings or checkout please message me for help!

Ill be making a few listings for larger bubble glass frames and other items during the week but if there's anything you'd like to see, comment below! 🖤

20 million tiny spectators got to congratulate us on our proposal, along with some very sweet and very excited volunteers from Bat Conservation International. What a rush it was to hear yes after a weekend full of nerves. Millions of female bats made their nightly emergence from Bracken Cave in a tornado that sounded like a rushing waterfall around us and it was so magical it feels like a hazy dream. Everything went exactly as planned 🦇

Thank you to everyone who let me share my secret for 8 months and kept it for me. Im the absolute worst at keeping surprises but I managed to save this one for the day.

Thank you:
•Kat 🖤 for doing our hair because nails would have been far too suspicious. (We have never gotten our nails done together ever)
• 💀 Brenna Greenwell 💀 for hiding the ring from Madison all weekend and snapping sneaky photos.
• Claudia | Wedding Photographer captured our gorgeous photos and stayed perfectly incognito beforehand.
•Uma Gordin | Engagement Rings made the shiniest, most dainty ring that fits her finger perfectly.
•Odds and Ends Art added a little something special to the ring box (a hand-sculpted bat pin).

I am so lucky to get to spend my life with my best friend, my comfort and joy 🖤

The pieces ➡️ who they went home with

You guys are so dang cute. Ive had such a lovely time with you all this weekend in San Antonio. These are just a couple of the larger frames that found homes this weekend!

I sit down and make things obviously with no particular person in mind and somehow my pieces always seem to find the exact homes they were meant for. I love connecting with you all over nostalgic memories, chats about antiques and all things insect related!

Thank you endlessly for your support 🖤🖤🖤 See ya next year San Antonio!!

This piece is long gone but I never got around to posting it! Making oddly shaped cloches are my favorite and this was definitely one of the best forms ive come across. Most of the uniquely shaped glass parts I use are from oil lamps, old candle bases or other broken decor items. I used this one to encase an arrangement of yellow roses and a death's head moth.

Going to be posting some older frames and pieces for a bit because my camera roll is FULL of things ive never shared and they all deserve their own little spotlight! 💅

ImAGeneYes knew id love a cup full of brown widows and im so glad he brought me these beauties! The frame, the flowers and the vase ripped from a 1960's arrangement (that had been ruined) are all too perfect together. This frame was originally flat so I constructed a small shadowbox on the back and filled it with some of my favorite wildflowers, hydrangeas from my garden, ferns and two brown widows (latrodectus geometricus) specimens.

This piece has found its home with Faith S🦄 but ill have one more vase frame coming with me to San Antonio very soon!
