This was my first time hand/slow stitching. I’ve been afraid of not being good enough but this style says, you are always good enough.

I live in Florida. This was WAY harder than it should have been. It’s like “they” don’t remember what we all went through and the people who died. The people who risked their lives and sanity to bring us the vax should be remembered always. I thank them from the bottom of my vaccinated heart.♥️

As a necropsy team lead for several Atlantic large whales…checking my necropsy notes just to be sure….nope…no windmills. Hold tight, checking the peer-reviewed data and publications…. nothing about windmills, just lots of ship strikes and entanglements in fishing gear.

Yesterday we released two orphaned #otters after a long stay in the Florida Wildlife Hospital. North American River otters are still hunted and trapped in Florida and many other states.

Baby weaver/lurker here…what type of loom do you weave on? This is the most amazing piece I’ve ever seen.

Off Balance When I Look Up. Handwoven 44"x 70" #weaving #michiganartist
Woven image from the perspective of standing under a tall tree on a clear warm day. Colors slightly washed out by the sun. I often try to walk under trees with my head tipped back, the feeing is like floating with a tinge of fear that I will trip and fall. It is better than staring at my shoes all day.

How rising seas are threatening the crucial #art of weaving in #Samoa

I have been saving my single earrings for years- hoping the one I lost will magically come back. I have a LOT of single earrings. At last, a driveway miracle.

You don’t have to kill your grass all at once. Plant the right native plants and don’t water anything once they are established. The natives will outcompete and choke out the non-natives. Ta da!
