I've always wondered how to do this. Thanks!

This is a great idea. I’m definitely doing this.

Great ideas. Gonna try them out. Thank you ❤️🍀🌷

Amazing ideas. Thanks Jessica. Please show us how to attach these sprig pieces to the potteries.

Cicada shell's are usually hollow. You could pour plaster or resin inside to sure it up 👍

Hi, Jessica. Fabulous ur video's. One thing i ask u, how to make mould. 💗💗

Excellent

Preserving your grandma’s pin is great, but some person designed it, and making copies of someone else’s artwork isn’t cool, or legal. I’d say keep the copies for family, and don’t sell them. I believe you can change the design at least 10 percent, and then it’s legal. I personally think you should change it more. So use the pin as a starting point, and make enough changes to make it your own. Not to rain on your parade or anything. I’m amazed at the number of people on YT who make castings of others’ work, and sell them. Industrial or generic stuff, no problem, but not art or designs.

Fun! Is there any way to make a sprig from a leaf? They’re so thin…

Hi From TEXAS!

What kind of wood is your work boards made out of?

freeze the cicada and maybe that will keep it firm enough to press

Great video! Here's my comment...Beware of this thing called Intellectual Copyright Infringement. Look it up. It basically says that if you didn't create it, don't copy it! If you copy someone else's work, then sell it, it can financially ruin you. Be careful what you copy. I'm sharing this with you because it happened to me. Working with clay is fun and you can do so much with it but there are legal ramifications if caught selling copies of someone else's work. I did it not knowing that I was doing something wrong. It's not worth taking the chance. Create and be happy!

Please show / tell how to attach these pieces to the clay pottery!!!!

where to buy sprigs mould ??

QUELLE ARGILE UTILISEZ VOUS.? PEUT ETRE POUVEZ METRE DES SOUS TITRES . MERCI POUR CES BEAUX TUTOS.

I know this is old, but why not just hot glue the cicada to a slab, place pins discretely and cut the tops, and pour plaster over it? I think we are over thinking it. I know y’all got plenty of cicadas to try… so go for it, experimenting is NOT a waste of time…. It’s just as important as making finished work
