Howdy mobile user!

it looks like you're using a small screen device! i'm currently working on making this website more accessible on mobile, but some features aren't currently showing. try my site on a desktop for the full experience (if you can!) and i'll keep working on getting the full beetlecraft experience to you on any device! :3

thanks for visiting!!

Welcome to BeetleCraft!!

howdy!! i'm ace, and i'm an enthusiast!!

i make a lot of crafts, and look at a lot of bugs (and bones, and other scavenged goods), and make a lot of crafts of bugs! i wanted somewhere to collate them, even just for my own enjoyment.

so with no knowledge of html or websites, i set out to make this blog-adjacent website!

once up and running, expect: pictures of bugs, crafts of bugs (inc. crochet, painting, drawing, linoprints, clay, junk journaling among others), pictures of things Found In The Woods, an appreciation of nature and rambles about that, entomology and plant rambles, and probably some other stuff.

but lots of bugs.

lots of them.

feel free to sign the guestbook!

current status:

I'm working on lots of assets, and after that will start on a bunch of pages!
