Artists often see beauty in things that most other people just gloss over, and Karina Mills is a case in point. She’s the mastermind behind Bewitched Oddities, and her stunning works of art often put butterflies and other insects front and center.
Mills is a talented artist from Eugene, Oregon, who specializes in making picture-perfect Victorian frames decorated with butterflies, moths, grasshoppers, and other insects. Her skills significantly evolved over the past few years, and we’ve also seen her use taxidermy animals, skulls, and bones in her work.
Everything from bugs to moss and flowers used in Mills’ art is 100% real, and she’s trying to make her frames as true to life as possible. She’ll sometimes add paint and tiny figurines to the mix, but her listings always clearly state if she made any altercations.
Mills is fully committed to using sustainably sourced materials in her art, without doing any harm to the ecosystems they came from.
“All of my insects come from breeders I have found online or sellers who source them from insect farms… I do not support deforestation and would never go out of my way to kill an animal for the sake of art,” she explains on her official website.
