it feels so strange holding him in my hands 🤲 am i tiny or is he just really big? i tried to fit every step into this video so most of it is sped up 10× faster 😅 but you can still see my entire technique for sewing a soft realistic moth in just one minute 🤍 #silkmoth #handmadetoy #mothart…

This is the full tutorial for one of your favorite moths 🤍 I still think it can be useful, even without clear patterns or step-by-step instructions I use lots of different techniques throughout the process, and hopefully you’ll find an idea or two that you can borrow for your own craft Or you can…

gross or cute?👽 big fluffy moths get a lot of love… but what about these tiny ones? this is a wax moth (Galleria mellonella) — fully realistic and completely handmade 🤍🤏 #WaxMoth #GalleriaMellonella #InsectArt #EntomologyArt #mothtok

All of them have already been adopted, and I’m spending my days trying to figure out my next moth! But honestly, lately I’m just doing my best to get through each day, going back and forth between functioning and having meltdowns 😔 Still, I’m so, so thankful to all of you who love my moths. You…

three of his brothers were custom-made and have already found their forever homes 🥹 so now there’s just this little guy left! i decided to put him up for adoption today, and made this little introduction video for him 🤍 his name is RO 🌑^🌑 and he’s waiting for his new parent! he’s now available on…

have you ever seen a moth wearing a tiny hat? 🎩 i’ve tried a few different designs for my moths, but turns out a simple little paper hat works best for protecting their antennae! here’s how i pack up five fluffy little babies for their journey to their new parent 🤍 #mothart #miniatureart #mothcore…

somehow my own moths fascinate me so much that i always end up making several videos about each one 😭 but since each new moth takes me a few weeks to make, and i only post twice a week, i guess that works out pretty well! this giant blue luna moth has already found his new home, but i’m still not…

meet Actias neidhoeferi, one of taiwan’s smallest moon moths, except this gentleman is about 10 times his actual size he has some of the bluest wings i’ve ever seen on a moon moth, and those little black markings around his eyes make him look like a panda 🐼 and yes, those are his real features! i…

your daily microdose of a nervous breakdown 🫶 #ArtistStruggles #CraftingFails #BehindTheScenes #mothcore

Let me change your mind 🌑^🌑

i wanted every one of my posts to be about a new moth but ʚɞ i’m still in the middle of making new ones ʚɞ i have way too many pictures sitting in my gallery ʚɞ this luna moth is extremely cute and i refuse to keep it there i really hope to finish something new for next week… but you know, you…

i’ve wanted to recreate this moth for a while, so i was genuinely so happy when i got the chance to make one for its new home 🩵 it’s fully poseable - the legs, wings, and even the tiny head can move - and there’s a magnet hidden inside, so it can jump onto a magnetic surface and travel with you…

you won’t find glow-in-the-dark moths in nature, so i made one myself 🌑^🌑 during the day, he’s just a little taiwanese moon moth, Actias neidhoeferi, with soft fluffy translucent wings but mine has a tiny secret that only comes out at night 🌙 i just hope the other moths won’t bully it for being…

the tiny taiwanese moon moth - Actias neidhoeferi 🩵 i’m honestly so happy i managed to film this entire process, because making something this small is already difficult enough, and trying to keep every microscopic step in frame definitely did not make it easier 😭 this little moth has lightweight…

it takes me around two weeks to make each one! to be fair the scientist part of my brain absolutely loves this first stage and i always end up with all these cool notes in my notebook like some kind of mad scientist 😭 but sometimes it’s genuinely hard to stop myself from skipping ahead and just…

this month’s drop is a little unusual, there’s only one chunky person 🤲🐛 he’s a one-of-a-kind bombyx mori moth, handmade from scratch and based on a real domestic silkworm moth his legs bend at three joints, his head turns, and his wings are soft but sturdy and fully poseable he’s also…

Head tilts compilation 🥵

soft giant rosy maple moth (Dryocampa rubicunda), about 3.5x its real size 🩷💛 at this size i can fit in as many sturdy moving parts as possible - the head turns, the little legs bend and rotate at the joints, and the wings are reinforced with a superelastic nano-alloy, so they bounce right back…

gross or cute? huge fluffy moths with wobbly wings, or tiny ones with their little kicking legs? 🦋🤏 #creepycute #insectart #entomologyart #miniatureart #mothsculpture

this moth is the color of pink lemonade and the size of your palm 🍋🩷 the full creation process in just one minute! as always, the little legs are fully poseable, i used nano wire inside the wings to make them bouncy, the antennae are strong but still soft, and there’s a magnet hidden inside what…

i’m pretty sure you’ve never seen anything like this before - and i actually got to hold it!! i completely forgot to post this little baby (haha, technically it’s absolutely HUGE for a silkworm moth, but honestly what else am i supposed to call it?) it fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, its…

one evening upcycling project: chair cushions from two old sweatshirts 🧵 or really anything with colors and textures you love together! i showed every step of this project but it’s mostly here for inspiration - use whatever materials you already have and make it your own 🤍 sorry for the little…

i’m not asking you to go there or anything, i think i just wanted to share my excitement because putting this website together was a lot of work for me! 🥹🤍 but if you ever want to look through a little gallery of my moths, you’re very welcome to visit! new moths also appear there before they go on…

the funniest part is that i mostly calculated all of this for myself, and then realized i spend almost twice as much time just transitioning between stages - planning, sketching, preparing materials, cleaning up… •_• and that’s not even counting the time spent baking the clay, or waiting for…

he already found his home, but just look at those juicy colors on this trendy little moth 💗💛 as always, i tried to fit every step of the process into one video, this time it’s sped up about 4x btw, it’s the last few days to join my little celebration moth giveaway under my latest post, don’t…

a fact about me: it takes me years to truly get attached. to people, to places, and even to moth species 🧚‍♀️🧚🏻 but once it happens, i’m pretty sure i’ll carry that love with me for the rest of my life 🤍 that’s why i know my years working with galleria mellonella made me fall in love with this…

She was an old soul. #needlefelt #wooly #creepycute

this luna moth has already found his home, but i know i’ll make her again one day 🤍 the funny thing is, there are already around 160,000 described moth species… so i think my life is already fully booked 😔 #mothart #entomologist #miniatureart #lunamoth #smallartist

Sorry I love him so much.. I think he deserves to be worshipped ☝️

i did this so you don’t have to 😭 antennae are one of the most distinctive features of moths, especially males, so consider this part of my tutorial on making realistic moths all of these methods actually work - i’d use silicone for tiny 1–2 cm antennae, feathers for larger ones, and the last (and…
