The post Mizuki Tsurutaka is Celebrating the Underrated Beauty of Insects With Her Jewelry appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Tsurutaka uses traditional Japanese blacksmithing techniques to make her one-of-a-kind jewelry, and it all started when she was just 19. She was still a college student at the time, but jewelry-making allowed her to explore her creative side and celebrate her heritage.
She eventually started her own brand Black Barc Jewelry, and their official website states they’re dedicated to making everything by hand using old-time techniques, guided by the belief that making each piece by hand makes them special and unique.
Since embarking on this journey, Tsurutaka crafted many jewelry collections, exploring different subjects. Nature has always been her main driving force, so we’ve seen her create jewelry shaped like snakes, flowers, and skulls before settling on insects.
Tsurutaka’s has been thinking about making insect-shaped jewelry for years before finally launching her “Mushi” collection. Most of the pieces are shaped like her favorite insect—beetles—with wings that can open and close together, revealing colorful gems underneath.

]]>Gooden’s fascination with insects started when her parents gave her a framed taxidermy insect for her birthday, and she kept receiving more insects as a gift in years to come. She was so wowed by them that she decided to use the power of stumpwork embroidery to create her own versions.
Gooden is endlessly inspired by different shapes, sizes, and colors of insects, and she’s hoping her art will encourage people to see them in a more favorable light and take a closer look.
“More often than not we overlook these crucial and under-appreciated inhabitants of the natural world and my aim is to ignite a spark of curiosity back into these little critters,” she told Textile Curator.
Unlike most embroidery artists, Gooden isn’t simply working with needle and thread, she uses a long list of different materials to make her creations three-dimensional. From fabrics and wires to beads and Swarovski crystals, she uses everything at her disposal to celebrate insects through her embroidery.

]]>Yeadon fell in love with nature while growing up surrounded by open fields and ancient woodlands in the rural part of the north of England. Nature has always been her biggest driving force, and she’s always been fascinated by animals and wanted them to be her friends.
She became interested in taxidermy after visiting the Walter Rothschild Zoological Museum, and it heavily inspired her art in the years to come. She started creating faux taxidermy insects, such as moths and butterflies, using black beading wire, before deciding to add some fabrics to the mix.
This proved to be a step in the right direction because fabrics allowed her to add new textures and techniques to her work. She kept on experimenting with mixed mediums and later founded her brand Homemade Trap, offering some of her creations for sale.
Yeadon has a special affinity for moths, butterflies, bees, and other insects, but her creations don’t always take these shapes. We’ve seen her get inspired by everything from mushrooms to mice, but nature is always at the forefront of her art.
