Paper specimens, taxidermy, and fossils couldn’t be more ethical to collect when they’re entirely handmade by a real human - me, OR you, if you enjoy DIY kits or books!
This is a big reason why I make the art I do. So many species are endangered, rare, or not ethical or legal to own specimens of (bats being a big one for that last category, for example) but we all love them so and would really treasure having them in our collections. But there’s no worries with paper art about whether the wild populations of these critters were harmed in bringing them into a collection!
Paper curio originals available now, as well as my new book, 3D PAPERCRAFT BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS, and my downloadable, reusable kits! My Fall 2026 collection which will include my now traditional line of Autumn Moth paper originals will be coming in the next month or so, too. Lots of options for the ethically minded specimen collector!
