This is one of the most engaging field guides ever. Of course, you probably want to begin with at least a cursory interest in lichens; but the authors' humor and storytelling will carry you away; remarkably without detriment to identification and distribution content!

Do an image search for "medieval knights and snails". It does not disappoint #invertzoo #classpreprabbithole

Imagining and testing new circular knitting patterns. Some winners, some losers. Finding the limitations of the machine (and / or my skill in using it).

Tiny Happiness. I've been refreshing this terrarium with itty-bitty wild floral treasures that randomly catch my eye for nearly 15 years now. This started when a brilliant and generous friend hosted a terrarium making party; it sparks joy in me.

Fermented rock tripe dye fade test (one winter month exposure to north carolina sun). Not so stable...😥

Little gifts for my niece. Dyed with pokeweed berries (purple), dyers polypore (green), & goldenrod (yellow). (She's not a baby or a toddler=no concerns about pokeweed toxicity)

Just fished these flip top mittens with yarn I dyed with mushrooms (dyers polypore)
