WELCOME TO THE 17TURTLES CREATIVE CLASSROOM
I'm Juliana Michaels the owner and creative behind 17turtles. I've been paper crafting and creating mixed media projects for over 20 years and I believe everyone has an inner artist waiting to be set free. Making, crafting, or creating...the process fills me with joy and happiness. I want to share that joy and happiness while teaching the tips, tricks and techniques you need to set your inner artist free.
Deep within a forgotten Victorian archive, cataloged by candlelight, lies a cabinet of curiosities — the anatomy textbooks of bats, moths, and the human form, the poisonous plants that filled old apothecary shelves, and the specimen tags, field diagrams, and handwritten notes preserved by the archivists who gathered them.
This bundle brings together the entire Ashgrave Archive into one complete package blending vintage scientific illustrations, engraved textbook plates, aged museum labels, apothecary and poison bottle tags, and hand-crafted techniques in a moody Victorian color palette of black, plum, olive, and burnt orange. It's ready to help you bring their stories and studies to life — imagine who they were, what they found, and the secrets they kept in every specimen and note, or let it be a fitting companion for your own Halloween storytelling.
Step into a world of quiet vintage botanicals, fluttering butterflies, and naturalist wonder with Metamorphosis — a complete printable collection inspired by antique specimen books, entomology field journals, pressed botanicals, and the delicate beauty of transformation.
This bundle brings together the entire Metamorphosis collection — both the paper designs and the full ephemera set — in one complete package, blending vintage naturalist illustrations, botanical engravings, genuine aged book page textures, and hand-crafted techniques in a muted palette of purple, teal, olive, terracotta, and espresso.
