Pinned
Intro: I have fabric (www.spoonflower.com/profiles/cas...) and random stuff (www.zazzle.com/store/castir...) for sale with my bug/plant art. But, mostly I would like you to appreciate lil bugs n friends, our good neighbors. DM for me free local #NativePlants if you're in Cleveland Co, OK or nearby.

#embroidery done today on one of the machines at @pioneerlibrarysys.bsky.social Library Lab. Once again it’s Ipomoea shumardiana, a Great Plains endemic #NativePlant found in #Oklahoma! The big flower makes it easy to cover up small fabric holes lol.

History is funny because on one hand nobody has given anybody else a big wooden horse in several thousand years but also it appears we’ve learned literally nothing else so kind of a wash

First early sketch for our Biodiversity Beers project is ready for a SNEAK PEEK.
We’ve got 3 Philly artists designing pro-biodiversity messages that we’ll print on pint glasses, which will be hosted at bars around the city with seeds for pickup 👀

Your hands are covered in little men. And the little men can make you sick if you don’t give them a bath. Sometimes they make other people sick too. Please give the little men a bath! I’m not crazy! Just listen to me! Bathe the little men on your hands! This is real! Get the men wet, you fools!

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.
