Hey y’all, My name is Ashley! I’m a registered nurse in the Dallas area and I like to woodburn in my spare time. My favorite subject matter is moths (clearly) and I try to make as many different kinds as I can, from popular and well-known to obscure and under-represented. I trace high resolution reference images of real moths, apply them to carbon transfer paper, trace them onto the wood itself, burn over my tracing, and then watercolor them based on their reference image before triple coating them in high gloss polyurethane. Everything you see in my shop is handmade from start to finish by me, using hand tools and my Mastercarver Burnmaster Eagle, which I cannot recommend enough if you’re in the market.
I also occasionally refurbish lampshades, because I got tired of not ever being able to find obnoxious lampshades to go with my obnoxious vintage lamps. I made one and got hooked, so they’ll pop up here and there as well, with or without a lamp attached.
I’m also open to taking requests for custom work, moth or otherwise - send me a message if you’re interested and we’ll go from there!
Thanks for visiting my shop! I hope you like what you see, and happy mothing!

5 out of 5 starsIt’s so beautiful! I love butterflies and starting to like certain moths too. My favorite moth is the Rosy Maple moth and I wanted to have something to show my love for it! This is perfect. My family and I are moving and I planned to hang this in my new room!
