what other colour combos do you want to do see in the ornament styles?

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)

I promise I'm really not that hard to shop for this Christmas season. If you wanted to get me all the blue morphos I would be so thrilled!

Buying from a small business is so much cooler than a large corporation - I mean who doesn't want something one of a kind over mass produced? 😉

lil shaky transitions but I'm l am dying over how perfect this lantern turned out. I was having trouble thinking of colour combinations and was suggested to do Lamptern the Pokémon, so here it is 💜
