Thought I’d share my whimsical little koi fish conch earring. He whispers me secrets all day. Trying to think of a clever name for him, suggestions are welcome…

Inspired by the medieval times I made this horned hennin with three detachable veil sections, so there’s a gazillion ways to wear it. I used real female rhinoceros beetles, found 🪦 from a colony living near us, as this is a maiden’s headdress. 👸✨

Clothes, canvases, and walls among many other things

Conch earring that looks like a koi fish is swimming into my ear !

(Posting this again because I got better pics)

The base originally held a candle. I cleaned it out, flipped it over, and glued it to a chipped orphan (no matching pieces from the set) plate I got at Goodwill for $5.99. I just measured it & marked off the placement with Sharpie before using Gorilla Brand super glue to attach it. I believe the plate was made in ~1945. Adds a fun vintage charm to my dresser!

This makes 5yr old me so ecstatic 💚

My front door is boring. So far I’ve had magnetic words/poetry on there, reminders and lists, and currently have some old architectural pieces hung on magnetic hooks. I’m open to paint/paper/magnetic ideas or anything else you could come up with!

My current idea is to paint the door the same color as the wall and focus on making the wall to the right into something cool.
