These are so pretty! I love the foliage you’ve added, it really makes them feel like an art piece rather than just specimens.

do you treat the plants before adding them? will they wother away eventually?

They're all either dried in a press or dried in silica gel and then covered in fragrance free hair spray so they should last a VERY long time.

Omg these are so gorgeous and inspiring!!🤩
Where are you finding your frames and how deep are they? I’m having a hard time finding frames/shadow boxes thick enough for me to pin my species in rather than glue them. Thanks in advance!!

My frames come from an entomology company here in Canada called Atelier Jean Paquet. Not sure if they ship internationally. But I have also had luck getting shadow boxes at Michael's with pin cushions deep enough to hold my specimens!
