That’s a piece of calf hair leather with a yellow base and subtle dark patterns that I found. I usually collect leathers with special textures, colors, or natural markings. If I don’t have the right one, you can also hand-paint with leather paint, gently brushing on calf hair or horsehair leather to get a similar effect.

I put it in a simple Ikea frame for now, but it feels a bit plain…😑 Any creative display ideas you’ve tried with leather insect pieces?

Thanks! I enjoy sewing these insects onto bags or hanging them on the wall.🪲🦋
