moth collection

I've found some pretty cool looking moths around the place and have started my own pin board. It doesn't look nearly as cool as all the natural history displays that I really admire which usually are showcasing huge intricate butterflies, but I think my moths on a cork board have a certain charm.
I did a little logo for them aswell.


Fish Scale necklace

I made this necklace out of fish scales that I cleaned and dried. Can't remember what fish it was, but we had it for dinner the other day. It was my job to scale the fish and as the tiny opalescent shards were flying at my face and getting stuck in my hair, I though they were quite pretty. 

The necklace is just fish scales pierced in the middle and strung onto white string, I did a bit of a photo shoot in the field next to the house, which was fun.
