I love bugs and I hope tumblr is fun I’m one billion years late to this platform..

Modern day Luffy would be an entomologist. He told his school counselor he wanted to look at bugs for a living and they signed him up for all the science classes. Somehow he’s made his way to being one of the top entomologists in the world

It’s like a tarot card but instead of magician it’s a musician, because I thought it fit better.

There's so much beauty in nature and within us 🌈

Gynandromorphism is a rare phenomenon where an organism has both male and female characteristics, even more rarely - those characteristics are equally split down the middle. Encountering this sight in the wild is most likely a once in a lifetime experience.

I never really get all deep and personal with my art, but pictures of half-male half-female butterflies really resonate with me 🦋 gender is a complex concept, much of it I don't fully grasp but I think those creatures' existence reflects my views perfectly - aren't some of us truly a mosaic of different aspects of the two sides of society, instead of having one solid set of colours and patterns? Anyway, happy pride, glad I came up with something other than just rainbow eyeshadow this year 😅

Made a spooky necklace last night so thought I'd make a tutorial of it, it took about 20 minutes:

1: To make this I used 1 spider pendant, 2 jump rings, 2 split rings, 1 lobster clasp, scissors, needle and black thread, and spider trim I got last halloween.

2: First, cut the ribbon to about the right length. You want it to go around your neck with maybe a 1.5cm gap for the clasp and attachments.

3: get one of the split rings. The ribbon I'm using is uhhh not great quality to say the least (the eternal problem of trying to make a thing that will last years from halloween items designed to be used once) so instead of looping it through the gaps in the ribbon I'm sewing it in place in the thickest bit of the material I can find. To do this, I'm just looping circles of thread between the centre of the spider and the split ring.

4: Continue this about 20 times until it's steadily held in place then tie the thread off.

5: Attach the lobster clasp/whatever other clasp you're using to the second split ring, then do step 3/4 again to attach the second split ring to the other side of the ribbon. Now, the overall structure is complete.

6: Add the pendant: I did this quite differently to how I usually do this (more discussion at the end) as the halloween spiders ribbon is so fragile and loves to tear apart. So I attached 2 split rings to the pendant, then used the same method as step 3/4 to sew the ends of the split rings onto the two spiders on each side of the pendant to distribute the weight. And that's it!

Here are 2 other necklaces I made with basically the same method. The other two are just hung on with split rings because 1: the ribbons are much sturdier, so I wasn't as worried about wear from movement 2: split rings are probably better for this because they'll scratch the ribbon less at the opening (currently having to redo an old project because I made some bad jump ring and ribbon decisions) and are less likely to fall off, but I had spent the afternoon hitting my thumb with a hammer so really could not be bothered opening split rings lol. Also, the spider with the skull on the thin ribbon is held closed with a safety pin because I was out of lobster clasps when I made it, so that's also an option. Then the last picture is me today with the necklace
