A wee little space shuttle blasting off. These little shadowbox constructions bring me joy. ☁️🚀☁️

If you're in the Southern Ontario area, this and my other pieces will be available at Art on the Street, June 21st, downtown Guelph.

1/6 This week's SciArt 🎨🧬 Spotlight is Lauren Wright Vartanian, a textile artist and the founder of @neuronsandnebulas.bsky.social, a platform on which she shares and sells her science-inspired art.

My latest little diorama shadowbox piece is the Cupola on the #ISS 🛰️

Finished with this dino skeleton piece. More description, angles and behind the scenes shots over on my IG account. 🦖 #sciart #textileart 🧪

I'm having fun making tiny diorama style pieces now. This one's a needle felted tardigrade in an imaginary rococo-esque environment.

Here's a little experimental nebula piece. I may try more. Gotta start stocking up for summer art markets again.

Newest finished piece. Putting this one in a group show so it needed a title. I'm calling it "Comfortable Insignificance". My favourite reminder to give everyone is that we're all on one small planet floating in an unfathomably vast void. Human history is a tiny blip in the cosmos. #sciart 🧪 #space

I will be at the Ontario Library Association (OLA) Super Conference today. Visit me at the Firefly booth (319/321), at 11:30am to grab a copy of Stitching Science, and have it signed by Keltie and myself.

I was added to the science feed poster's list by @physgal.bsky.social and while I still don't understand what that means... I'm pleased. So here's my most physics related piece. Q is for quantum. #sciart 🧪

I guess I'll start out by sharing some up close, detail shots from my book- Stitching Science. Ask your indie bookstore if they'd like to carry it. (Or push the big name stores to order more than 1 copy). #sciart

Holy smokes. Thank you for the overwhelming support already! Please be patient with me while I learn the ropes here. I was never very adept with twitter, so it's going to take some time to grasp how this (way better) place works. 🪡❤️🔬

Hello! I've decided to give this place a try at the recommendation of many excellent sci-art friends.
I make textile art, about science, in hopes of educating people through pretty pictures. Thank you for taking a look!
