My 21 year old brother is moving into the house for a bit of time. He has 3 years of fine arts under his belt (CCAD) and has made and sold several wire wrapped mineral necklaces. I personally have a lot of experience in one and two part resin casting. I also ran a Ebay business with over 50 sales (so I know how to ship and do customer service well 
).
The idea is that people can ship mantids and other beloved insects that have passed to us to make into beautiful jewelry (he is really good at what he does).
I would also be interested in buying any dead mantids/ interesting insects that people might be saving.
Basically, the point of this post is to get a feel for the potential market. Would you guys be interested in a service like this? I'm not going to lie, it wouldn't be cheap at first (knowing my brother he will poor hours into detail and design), but I feel like this idea is just to cool and fits my brother and I perfectly.
I haven't pitched this idea to him yet simply because I want to hear back from you guys first
