The seller explains: Who could be a better companion than this giant woolly mantid? This fierce creature is an original, one-of-a-kind, hansigurumi soft sculpture, handmade with precision and love, swathed in vivid hues of pink, indigo, and black.And what a cuddly giant woolly mantid it is.
Since the Paris shows declared dead insect jewellery to be the epitome of klarse, we cannot go past this pendant. A lovingly preserved ant is displayed in a glass vial against a fern leaf backdrop. Some of us would prefer a tarantula or a praying mantis but sometimes an ant is just the thing.
Bits of dead beetles have never looked so chic, not even the vintage specimens found behind the couch. Did we mention these earrings "produce a gentle fluttering sound when moved or shaken"? Just to remind you what you're wearing next to your face. Nom nom.
A print of an original artwork that depicts the pun-emitting fornication of flies. Perfect for the kitchen or nursery.
How's this for an oxymoron - an utterly adorable tarantula. Even typing the word creeps us out, and yet this is just cute and cuddly and has a cheeky wee face. Perplexing, brilliant and fucking scary, if you ask us.
The seller of these charming ear jewels playfully asserts that everyone loves a cockroach. We're not sure what people are inhaling these days, but we're not going to purchase these for ourselves just yet. Perhaps as a thoughtful gift instead. US$5 from Tonyarose at Etsy.
