We need a prize for traditional indigenous knowledge.

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.

Tried it. Liked it. Will do more. #kawandi #quiltsky

Sign reading vaccination area.

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.♥️

The monkey story is totally believable.

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.

The life of microplastic: how fragments move through plants, insects, animals – and you Microplastics have been found in the placentas of unborn babies, the depths of the Mariana Trench, the summit of Everest and the organs of Antarctic penguins. But how do they travel through the world,...

Microplastics have been found in the placentas of unborn babies, the depths of the Mariana Trench, the summit of Everest and the organs of Antarctic penguins. But how do they travel through the world, and what do they do to the creatures that carry them? www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

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.

Thank you. I have so many things to learn. 🤓

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

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.

It’s his world. You are just knitting in it.

I zoomed in and zoomed out again and again. This is beautiful. 🩵

Why can I only “like” this once? 🥹

Close up: An earring (back side up) in the shape of a skunk with a wire loop laying on a brick driveway.

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.

Gross. And sad.

This is be-u-ti-ful! 🩷

Beautiful work. Wish I got the spinning gene.

Cheddar boys are the best. 🐈

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!

Stunning. Thank you for your art and for using recycled materials. ♻️

I love this yarn. It reminds me of shedded #snake skin. 🐍 🧶

Decrease, reduce, terminate. 🥺

Two hands cradle a small white, brown and gray quail.

She’s the adult version of “they followed me home, can I keep her?”. This non-releasable, (non-native) quail is now my best friend.
