If this combo of song and fossil doesn’t get my art to my target demographic I don’t know what will.

Gray Bat Skulls 🦇 🌿 I've made these specially for the Oddities and Curiosities this weekend in Charlotte, NC (booth 200, near the stage)! I was inspired to pick these endangered bats after learning about Fern Cave here in the Southeast.

What is it called when you’re doing so well mentally, actually, that you finally have the bandwidth to cut your own bangs, and it actually turns out ok?

Like, the opposite of a mental break?

Sounds daft, is actually true and there’s a good survival reason for them doing so #teammoth

Rather than throw its old head cases away, the gum leaf skeletonizer wears them like a hat to protect itself from predators.

“Minnesota's nickname is the North Star State due to its motto "L'Etoile du Nord," which was adopted in 1861.

Minnesota is the North Star State. ✨

Consider this fact whenever you're feeling despair at what's happening in our country right now. Follow our North Star.”

The volcano erupted, spraying linoleum and carpeting into the air.

Millions of years ago during the Silurian period, the Sahara Desert was a shallow sea full of aquatic animals like crinoids. Don’t be fooled! Crinoids are commonly called "sea lilies" but they aren't plants! They are echinoderms, like starfish and sea urchins, and many species are still alive today!

Behold: the printing press my husband invented and built for me, without being asked. True love exists. (Also, MAJOR linocut print restocks coming!)

My niece made me a starfish keychain, my brother mailed me fossils he found, and my art crush answered my email.

Sometimes the day can just be good. :)
