I spent some time last night spreading beetle wings. The bigger beetles turn out so beautiful when electroformed so I'm going to give they little Japanese beetle a shot! The click beetle was a pain to pull and spread the wings so this might be the only one I do like that. We'll see if the end results justify the frustration of pinning it 😂 . #beetles #beetlejewelry #electroformed #insectjewelry #insectart #witchyvibes #witchythings #swampandbone #swampwitch https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kSOWVnzmB/?igshid=1ss87c584mduj
Final coat of conductive paint is on! But I just measured my beaker and I think I need a bigger tub for my electroforming bath if I want to get this one done. . This is the biggest piece I've worked on so far 😍 I love it and have plans for more big pieces! . #electroformed #insectart #natureart #dragonflyart #electroformedinsect #copperinsects #swampandbone #swampwitch #witchyvibes #witchythings https://www.instagram.com/p/CAbMwdPh1K7/?igshid=ys2w6x98ls4n

I wanted to share the first few steps of taking a bug (or arthropod in general) from a dry dead bug to the final electroformed piece.
First they get placed in to a relaxing chamber to rehydrate them. This allows me to move their limbs and bodies without breaking them.
After 4 days these two were ready to be pinned and moved around. The other 4 beetles need a little bit more time before the lens fully bend. Different sized bugs take different amounts of time.
The last few pictures show how you can move the limbs and bodies around and use pins to hold them in place to dry. I will probably give these at least a week to dry before testing to make sure the stay in place.
When they are done drying I will post the next few steps!

Some current WIP pieces. The skipper needs to have it's antennae reinforced and put back in the bath. The others need a good polish and dip in the patina. . Keep and eye out, these should be good to go in the store soon! . #electroformed #electroformedinsect #electroforming #butterflyjewelry #waspjewelry #insectart #insectjewelry #witchyvibes #witchythings #swampandbone #swampwitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CAtQSBMBSMG/?igshid=8dyggsc4oh32

Two of my current WIP pieces. My first full insect pieces were framed on twigs and I love the way they look. One I kept for myself and one is a gift I haven't been able to give because of the current stay at home situation. But I love the way they look so I'm re-visiting that look with a few new pieces 🖤🖤 . #electroformedjewelry #electroformed #insectjewelry #naturejewelry #butterflyjewelry #waspjewelry #swampandbone #swampwitch #witchyvibes #witchythings https://www.instagram.com/p/B_i-J_PnzY6/?igshid=4psoed4b3lz6
I had my first sale from my Etsy store over the weekend 🥰 I'm super excited about it! The Luna moth pendant is one of my favorites and I'm so happy with how it turned out!! . That piece gave me so much trouble when I started it but I think the struggle made the results that much better ❤️❤️ . The rest of the set are still available in my store, link on me profile 🐝🐝 . #electroformed #electroformedjewelry #insectjewelry #naturejewelry #electroformedinsect #swampandbone #witchyvibes #witchythings #swampwitch https://www.instagram.com/p/B_SM8PeHIqQ/?igshid=1ol0fup346y2c
I'm really liking this! A frontwing and hindwing from the same dragonfly as a pendant. These two got a beautiful deep purple, grey, turquoise color from the patina. . I am really digging making more complex pieces instead of just single wing pendants 😁 . (Check out my previous post for a giveaway of a different dragonfly wing!) . #electroformed #dragonflyjewelry #insectjewelry #naturejewelry #electroformedjewelry #electroforming #swampandbone #swampwitch #witchyvibes #witchythings https://www.instagram.com/p/B_DeJ3CgQhu/?igshid=1n9rka9kqokrs
