Ethics Policy

Our goal is to honor nature through living adornment.  Each piece is handmade by our own two hands from start to finish. From processing our own specimens, to pinning insects. So much care and intention goes into our preserved mini-worlds. We strive to create beautiful arrangements that honor earths magical creatures, in life and death.

Most of our bones are foraged, come from road kill or salvaged components from other industries that would otherwise  be used as waste. We have a network of collectors from people who work for animal control to local foragers. We process most of our specimens ourselves and teach classes on processing so others can collect sustainably and ethically. Our taxidermy specimens are acquired post mortem from local reptile shops, breeders, small family farms  and animal control as a part of wildlife management. 

Our insect specimens come from  insect farms where they live out their full life cycle. Deceased specimens are collected and then sold to businesses and education centers. These farms help sustain natural forests and jungles, and provide jobs for indigenous communities. All moss, pressed flowers, lichen, etc.  are foraged from our private property following all of Colorado's foraging guidelines. If any specimens are outsourced through a third party we make sure their ethos align with ours .

It is our goal to run an ethical and sustainable business that maintains transparency. If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact us via our contact form on the website.
