A business card design with a soft gradient background of purple blending into orange. The design features a white arched label with the word "APOTHECULT" curved across the top in uppercase serif font. Below, three orange stars of varying sizes shine above a detailed purple illustration of a moth. At the bottom of the label, in purple text, it reads "HANDCRAFTED ODDITIES" in a clean serif font. The overall aesthetic is mystical and handcrafted. The back side of a business card with a gradient background blending purple into orange. At the top, there's a detailed purple illustration of a moth surrounded by four orange starbursts.

A grid of twelve small taxidermy butterfly terrarium ornaments displayed under glass domes. Each ornament features a preserved butterfly posed among colorful dried moss, flowers, and plants. The designs vary in color palettes including blues, reds, purples, yellows, and neutrals. Most pieces rest on cork bases, and several have red hanging ribbons attached to the domes. Prices shown range from $15 to $40

I would love to find a taxidermied sleeping mouse to use in a terrarium. I have had an idea for a specific scene for over a year but have not been able to find the perfect mouse for it 👀

Any suggestions? (Must be ethically sourced)

what do you guys think of ASMR tours of terrariums? Filming it makes it seem like it's actually real and I have to be quiet or the butterfly is going to fly away at any second 🦋

Thank you everyone who came out to stream!! I ran out of moss so we had to call it a day but will hopefully be back Friday with another stream and maybe to finish this up?

help me decide what type of butterflies I should use on this piece! I'm thinking these blue ones but I also have some that are orange-y that might make the peach pop??

deciding on bugs is the hardest part of making a terrarium. there's too many choices!

If you've ever been curious on how I make my taxidermy terrariums then a craft stream is the perfect chance to come watch and hang out!

make sure you're following me at twitch.tv/nika_howard so you know as soon as I go live (I'm bad about posting whenever I go live sometimes)
