Iโ€™m diving into this gorgeous #sciart childrenโ€™s book - thatโ€™s definitely not just for kids. The artwork is exquisite and the text is the right balance of thorough and accessible. A great inspiration for #naturejournaling! #skybrarians #booksky @clairescully.bsky.social

Thanks - it was a gift! But Iโ€™ve seen similar at craft fairs.

Yesterday I combined work and pleasure, leading a nature journaling session for my library, featuring zines from @wildwonder.bsky.social. Such an engaged group, and everyone walked away feeling relaxed and inspired! ๐Ÿƒโœ๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ #naturejournaling #publiclibraries #skybrarians

This summer, I am leading five nature journaling programs at my library - Iโ€™ll be handing these out to attendees! So much good information in a teeny tiny package.

I like the flat ones! I wish they were magnetic on their own, but I add a cute paper clip so I can stick it to my needle minder.

An easy to use needle threader is one of my must haves in a tiny stitch kit!

Tell Congress to #FundLibraries The American Library Association is leading the charge for libraries. Librarians, information professionals, and everyone who loves them must tell their members of Congress to support full federal fun...

Critical reminder - if you value libraries, even if you don't use them yourself, if you see the value to your community - please let Congress know. ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฟ๐Ÿ†˜ www.ala.org/advocacy/fun...

Your sketches are lovely! I avoid sketching birds unless from a photo because they move so fast. I should practice that more!
