Welcome to Adorned Afterlife

Adorned Afterlife was created by me, Dani! I'm an oddities enthusiast and a nature lover. I've had passion for all living things big and small since I can remember. I spent my summers as a kid at my grandparents rescuing bugs from the pool, watching tadpoles grow up in the pond, looking for newts in the woods and so much more!

I create semi realistic and whimsical nature/entomology displays to be cherished by others containing all real plants, insects, bones and other organic materials.

I do my best to make sure my displays are sustainably sourced. The plants I use are collected and preserved by me, or they are purchased from small businesses who sell florals they grow themselves in their gardens. The insects I use are either collected by me, already found deceased of natural causes, were hand raised and passed naturally or are sourced from insect conservations who focus on protecting the diversity of nature.
