Physarum bivalve. Fir and Pond Wood. A myxomycete. I haven’t seen this before but was struck by its shape and pattern.

The highlight of today's walk was finding my first female Vapourer moth, sitting on her cocoon, presumably newly emerged. Ominously, there were tiny parasitic wasps hanging around, presumably waiting to inject her eggs.
And, very close by, another cocoon, this one covered in eggs. #TeamMoth

Hey 🐝⛷️ friends

I'll be shipping this aft, & then Saturday this week (I'm away a few days int middle.)

So if you want my paints or zines shipped before the weekend, get them at Lycomorpha.etsy.com
Three copies of a teeny tiny square stack zine laid out for a shop pic. It's called 'Bonfire season' and the pages have autumnal artwork on one side and text telling a story on the other. The titles of the pages make a hidden poem. There's lichen and pine cones around the place to pretty things up. A six colour half pan handmade watercolour set. There's a swatch card showing a strip of each colour, and an open pan of each resting on the swatch. The colours are granulating and semi opaque mixed pigment colours that form a gradient from a custardy peach though oranges to dark reds. An 8 colour half pan handmade watercolour set. There's a swatch card showing a strip of each colour, and an open pan of each resting on the swatch. There's also a swatched square tin to one side. The colours are granulating and semi opaque mixed pigment colours, mostly in greens and browns because it's a woodland themed set.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Now we're well past the event, gonna share this birthday card I made for my niece.

It's a card and a dotcard/mini-paint set! (Didn't know if it was gonna work, verr relieved that it does 😁)
A handmade birthday on watercolour paper, with a border covered in sample paint dots in a rainbow of colours. In the middle is a radiating pattern, with one ray in each of the paint dot colours, and two rays with text in reading happy birthday. The card being made on my work bench. Alternate rays have been coloured in and are drying. Around the card are rulers and set squares, pencils, an eraser and a paintbrush. Y'know the usual mayhem.

Impossible how good reading is. You mean I just point my face at the paper for a bit and it does a whole update on my brain?

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

extremely large (8" across) and lacunalicious Lactarius deliciosus looking all fancy for the fall.

#FungiFriends #fungi
my color photograph of a large Lactarius deliciosus mushroom fruiting body, erupting out of the deep brown redwood duff in Mendocino County, CA. This beautiful orange mushroom has a splotchy stipe with a geometric orange tiling pattern on a cream background. The cap is deeply funnel shaped and filled with rain water and bits of brown leaf litter. The edge of the rich golden cap has deeper orange patterning but none of the deep emerald green coloration that this species is often known for.

The Abandoned Chemistry Lab in my dollhouse. I've been organizing my bits and pieces all week in preparation for long winter nights of miniature fun. Next stop the "Star Trek Attic".
#BlueSkyArtShow #Small #miniatures
A room in my dollhouse that I dedicated to my late mother, The Abandoned Chemistry Lab. I created pretty much everything, except the tiny chair which I merely distressed. On the right is my idea of a Tesla coil. I made every little book and the book shelves. The best part was that I didn't have to repair the windows!

haha this ME. I became a gardener/landscaper mostly because of my love of plants...and the fact that I had run out of space. Now I get to indulge for others!

Excited to see Dendrocollybia racemosa in the Oakland Hills this week. This mushroom hedges it’s reproductive bet by making sexual spores in the gills of the cap and asexual spores on the branches on the stem. It parasitizes Russulaceae fungi and is having a very good year #mushrooms #Oakland #fungi

Participating in Fall of Freedom is one way artist Kris Grey has chosen to respond to the rise of authoritarianism. “A core ethos of the project,” Grey writes, “is the belief that creativity, in and of itself, is a practice of resistance.”
Why I Joined the Artists Behind Fall of Freedom
What began as a conversation among a handful of artists has grown into a decentralized creative action, spanning more than 600 events across the country.
