What’s even more impressive is that they look very realistic, even matching the real-life size ones. Big or small, all kinds of insects are a part of his growing portfolio. The artist starts by creating the skeleton and adds the details with translucent craft paper. The result is incredible, looking like real wings that reflect light.

Saitoh doesn’t exactly try to get every detail perfect: “Since we are not making specimens or replicas, we prioritize the impression, characteristics, and sensation of appearance rather than rigorously measuring the dimensions and creating proportions accurately,” his website reads.

He enjoys leaving some room for imagination, so that the people seeing his art can fill the gaps themselves. He also believes that “it does not make much sense to create details that cannot be discerned by the human eye,” since his goal is for people to see his work in person.

The artist titled his series The Insect World Collection and it consists of various insects drawn in his unique style, colored with pastel shades. Each illustration comes with Vietnamese and English names of the insects in two versions: common and scientific.

“When I began working independently, I started with small suspended pieces,” she shared in an interview with the Etsy blog, recalling how her business was shaped, “but I wanted to take the idea of hassle-free installation even further and create something where people wouldn’t need to worry about nails or drilling holes in walls.”

Zaycman’s solution was to attach the stained-glass piece to a brass bar. These pieces included insects and plants all made of smooth glass. Being attached to a bar meant these independent objects could easily be brought into peoples’ homes. “Having an understanding of geometry is useful in calculating complex shapes,” she explains.

You can purchase her original work on her Etsy shop or admire it from afar via Instagram.

“My work is heavily influenced by a particular museum that I discovered at the age of eleven while I was studying at a performing arts boarding school in Tring, UK,” she admitted in an interview with Enchanted Living Magazine. “The Walter Rothschild Zoological Museum is famous for holding one of the finest collections of stuffed mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects, and this amazing collection of animals is what triggered my obsession with taxidermy.”

And so, fueled by her childhood memories, she took to fabric, thread, and paint, creating an unbelievable realistic collection of faux taxidermy, that consists of insects and other small creatures. While taxidermy still greatly inspires her work, her creative process requires a different set of tools and thankfully, no animals are harmed in the process.

“One evening, I randomly decided to dust off my old sewing machine and rekindled my love for textiles,” she recalled. “I gradually began to incorporate fabrics and machine and hand embroidery into my wire creations at the very end of 2017.” Her progress on that front alone is remarkable.

In 2000 he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Jewelry and Metals degree and since then he has been incorporating in his art salvaged materials, locally harvested domestic timber, and scraps and off-cuts deemed ‘unusable’ by others.

In his recent project, Bell turns antique keys into insects by using modified fly-tying techniques.

“These Lures are a tribute to personal and family histories, wrapped and embellished by hindsight and nostalgia,” the artist told Bored Panda. “I perch them on scraps of salvaged material and mount them under glass domes or in shadow-boxes. They tread the line somewhere between taxidermied curiosities and new life emerging from the detritus of lives lived.”

You can take a look at his creations on Instagram where he goes by the name sallesublime as well as his personal website where you can learn more about his creativity.
