Swinging right into a my next event with a fundraiser for the DAR! Not only am I excited to bring my love of antiques and vintage to this 1940’s inspired event in Olathe but I’m working on my paperwork to become a member of the Daughters of the Revolution myself! An ode to my Grandmother, Cheryl, as she had a love of history and family ties.

Mark your calendars for this unique event being organized by the Olathe Chapter of the DAR!

Fun to make and fun to take! Robin made these origami bugs for the floral arrangements at the Wildwood Fundraiser and the patrons enjoyed snagging them to enjoy at home after the event ended. We love sharing our whimsy in big and small ways.

Lights, camera, action! Bugs are set and the big event is on! Good luck to Wildwood tonight in their fundraising goals. We hope the patrons, staff and volunteers have the best evening. I had fun making these show stopping critters.

I love that my first event work under Robin's Emporium of Whimsy has led me to discover and work with these amazing illustrations by Maria Sibylla Merian, who is considered by David Attenborough to be among the more significant contributors to the field of entomology. I've was able to acquire access to print some of her spectacular illustrations via the public domain due to their age. I've loved using them for the origami bugs and large insect silhouettes that will be used at the Wildwood Outdoor Education Center fundraiser next week. This youtube video is a great overview of Maria's life and features many of her insect illustration in the video. Maria's life was so unusual for the time especially as a woman. What an amazing role model, using both her live of entomology and her talent's as an artist to leave such a huge mark on the world of insect science.

You never know what you will learn when you let your creativity guide you.

Maria Sibylla Merian is considered one of the earliest entomologists and ecologists and has a wide group of admirers, including Sir David Attenborough. About...
