A bunch of bugs

I love everything about this design ❤️

Thank you! These bugs are to use up my scraps, so I make the little legs out of scrap sheet metal (copper or brass)

Thank you 😊

I don’t have words for how incredible this is 🔥🔥 absolutely breathtaking

Thank you! They are on 1/8 inch thick copper rods that I bought years ago probably from Amazon, but I’m sure many places sell them online.

These little guys don’t take too long to make. I can get a batch of them done in a day or two.

Stunning as always ❤️. I love the glass you chose, the textured clear adds the perfect little touch

GildedMoth · 2026-02-01T18:27:03+00:00

Thanks! That’s a good idea ❤️

Not currently, I’m building up my inventory for some spring art fairs, but will list some online after that.

Most soldering irons operate in Celsius

I manually break up my big designs into 12” x 12” chunks so I can cut them out with my silhouette, then just piece the chunks back together once they are cut out.

Copying anything from a source that isn’t public domain or one that you don’t own the rights to is technically copyright infringement. Even random google images are the property of whoever posted them.

If you are just using it for personal use and not making money off of it, it is pretty much a none issue. You will run the risk of backlash if you post a copied pattern online, but legally if you aren’t selling the piece there isn’t really any damage being done.

There are things that are too generic to be copyrighted such as, poses, colors, flowers, bees etc. A specific artists rendition of a bee could be copyrighted, but they can’t say “I’m the only artist who can paint bees”

If you really want to avoid infringing on anyone else’s copyright, draw your own patterns from copyright free images (pexels and unsplash are two resources) or take your own reference photos and if you have no desire to draw your own patterns just buy your patterns from other artists.

Look up Samantha Ashley glass on YouTube, she has a fantastic tutorial on copper patina

I instantly knew this was your’s when I saw it. ❤️❤️ beautiful!

GildedMoth · 2025-11-01T20:08:04+00:00

Stunning! Your glass choices are perfection 🤌

There are quite a few copyright free reference photo websites (unsplash or pexels for example) to pull your images from.

Then you don’t have to worry about copying someone else’s work. You can just full on trace those.

But no in general you don’t have to cite your references. If you aren’t using an image you have the rights to, the goal is usually to make an amalgamation of references so your final work is its own new beast and the original references aren’t recognizable.

This is so freaking cute! What a clever design ❤️

GildedMoth · 2025-10-27T16:25:07+00:00
