We're excited to be sharing a fresh new collection from the talented, Tennyson Corley with you today!

 

These ceramic insects come alive with texture, color and whimsy. The beetles gleam with glossy finishes, from the classic scarlet ladybug to a chartreuse shell adorned with a leaping hare—while the moths and butterflies spread intricately patterned wings, layered with florals, stars and botanical motifs that bring the spirit of a painter's garden.

 

Bring your space to life with a mix of playful sophistication. These whimsical ceramics invite collectors to reimagine the overlooked beauty of these miniature insects that are worthy of display on a coffee table, desk, countertop or any surface imaginable!

 

The artist states, “Field Notes: Insecta Botanical presents sculpted ceramic beetles, moths, and butterflies that celebrate the quiet vitality of insects within garden environments. Each piece is carefully hand-shaped and painted with floral motifs, then finished in a luminous mother-of-pearl glaze that evokes the dappled shimmer of summer light. Delicate botanical patterns echo the intricate relationship between insects and the plants they inhabit. 

 

Through clay, glaze, and hand-painted botanical detail, this collection elevates the subtle presence of garden insects—nature’s overlooked stewards. The process is slow and intentional, guided by observation and the gentle unfolding of seasonal rhythms.

 

This work doesn’t just depict insects—it invites pause and reflection. Field Notes: Insecta Botanical encourages viewers to shift perspective, seeing these small creatures not as pests, but as essential partners in the garden’s quiet abundance."
