Remembered again today that my grandma, my biggest creative influence, grew up in Nazi-occupied Finland and was only able to immigrate into the US because my American great-grandmother knew a US Ambassador to Finland.
It’s in my creative and literal blood to oppose Nazis and support immigrants.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: Dinosaurs are for girls. This was the first dinosaur skull I made (back in 2022), for a lovely lady in Germany, and it rekindled my childhood love of paleontology and put me on the career path I'm on now.

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?

Gum leaf skeletonizer: The venomous 'Mad Hatterpillar' that wears its old heads like a crown
Rather than throw its old head cases away, the gum leaf skeletonizer wears them like a hat to protect itself from predators.

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!
