#cicada wings

[katarinanavane]

Real cicada wing jewelry! I just started making the clockwork wing earrings, and restocked a bunch of other cicada jewelry as well. No animals were harmed, all are made from 17 year cicadas (brood x from 2021) collected after their natural deaths.

Totally forgot I'm allowed to just post my own artistic exploits here. So have some homemade fairy wings.

Purple ruler added for scale/reference.

3rd panel of a comic about Golden Cicada's background. Here I imagined him as a being that started off as a cicada that the Buddha changed into a human when he noticed the bug listening intently to his teachings. In Buddhism only humans can reach enlightenment, but the loss of the innocence of insects may be a terrible thing.

This may be particularly true if you now understand that of your over 400 brothers and sisters, only you will live beyond a few weeks.

That other cicada post made me so nostalgic, I dug up an ancient photo archive! This cicada emerged in the summer of '09 in my dorm room. You can see the four wings shimmering in diaphanous color :)

New cicada wing necklace just added to my Etsy (link in bio). I love how these look with rutilated quartz, the golden veins look so similar in both.

Wings collected after the brood x die-off last summer
