These mini collages depict the Antherina suraka, Ceranchia apollina, and Argema mittrei moths, three of the wild silk species that produce the cocoons we use in our wild silk products. Reminiscent of butterflies that fill curiosity cabinets, but in this case, no creatures are harmed. In fact, every purchase promotes conservation efforts for this endemic species. The pieces are the perfect size for framing and will bring an element of the exquisite natural world into your home.

These are lovely. Cleverly handmade with great colors. My niece is in love with all insects, and with art, and these are the perfect mix of the two.

This handmade piece is really beautifully crafted. We wanted to spruce up a spare bedroom with a simple natural feel, and this piece had the perfect feeling we needed. It came with a nice description/story of how it was ethically sourced and handmade using natural materials. Shipping was quick, shipped well protected. Thank you for the beautiful work!
