vomiting insect, own imageA loose interpretation of an exuberant upright insect, with the emphasis firmly on materials. The arms have upcycled wire from spiral-bound notebooks. There is also wire in the legs, and card in the base for stability.
Wood louse, own imageInspired by the discovery that there is a huge range of local names across Britain for this creature. I chose my local name, slater, along with a couple of my other favourites. It is hand stitched and embroidered, with wire in limbs and antennae. There is card in the base for stability.
pinksekt, own imageA looser interpretation of a joyful generic insect, all in various pinks, with springy copper wire legs. It is hand stitched, and there is card inside the base to keep it flat.
sliver moth, own imageA gentle moth creature with silvery, semi-translucent wings, hand stitched in textiles. There is wire in the lower legs and card inside the base to keep it flat.
shield bug, own imageA cute creature modelled on a green shield bug, hand stitched in textiles. There is wire in the limbs and card in the base to keep it flat.
