A detailed black ink drawing of a tree slice surrounded by ferns, fungi, pine cones, and beech branches.

This is something I’m currently working on, an update of an older piece that was originally a lino print.

I’m hoping to get everything back up and running by mid February 🤞

Latest work, 'Tangerine Palpatine'.

Two ceramic plates, one says: compliance, cooperation, capitulation… second plate: …are all collaboration.

I’ve spent today in a complete catatonic state, I just don’t know how much more of this I can take but I can’t help but feel we’re only at the beginning. A reminder…

Hand embroidery. Canvas, silk, threads

I am now at 17 books in 16 days. I am unstoppable.

A bright yellow building stands out against the snow covered ground and the towering cliffs of the Troll Wall. Immediately in front of the building is an old railway goods wagon. The building is the old rail station (it was moved a short way from it's original location in 2005 when work was done on the nearby highway and rail track) it is now used for accommodation and the carriage is a small museum.

One for #Scape day....

If I had a nickel for every time Bluesky was the first to learn about my autoimmune activity, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Since I made this post, I have rapidly lost a large amount of my body weight and I am now undergoing testing for IBD.

I really wish I would stop accidentally blogging the onset of my chronic illnesses.

Bright red flowers adorn four scarlet hedgehog X fishhook cacti hybrids. A male Broad-tailed hummingbird perches atop one bloom, and a female flies towards one. A female, male, and three Gambel quail chicks trot around the base of the cacti. All is painted on a birch wood panel; the grain of the wood is visible in the background.

The artist stands holding the 4-ft tall wood panel with birds and cacti painted on it. A large saguaro cacti stands tall behind them, and a cholla cacti bursts about behind them as well. The cloud is overcast.

Detail image zoomed in of the painting showing the bright red cacti flowers and numerous needles, the head of the mail Gamble's quail, and both of the Broad-tailed hummingbirds (one perched, one flying).

Recent commission of Broad-tailed hummingbirds and Gambel's quail gathering round scarlet hedgehog X fishhook cacti hybrids in celebration of the Sonoran Desert. Acrylic on birch, 36x48 inches.

The only perk to being bedridden sick is that I have already finished 9 books this year

A mandala handstitched on canvas cut into a circle in greens and gold with purple sequins at 6 points on the outside. The inside of the mandala is a crystal

The stitched mandala is being stitched onto a larger piece of canvas that has the number 17 in red in the left corner. Improvisational stitching in mostly greens with a variety of stitches blurs the lines of the mandala

This seems like a good day to share: how it started….how it’s going. Improvisational stitching for my current work in progress (the really big brain 😉). Kind of fun I’m working with green during the lead up to Christmas 🎄

Digital painting

A pale khaki green square fabric background. Going across the square from the bottom left corner to the top right are three hand embroidered European Robins (bottom standing , the others in flying poses)- the bodies are stitched line drawings and each face area is in full detail. Helping to outline the birds is scraps of a pale mint green netting and on the right hand side a jagged edge piece of light blue floral lace.

I can't let #NationalRobinDay go by. These birds have always been a popular subject.

four radiolaria sculptures sitting on a black surface

Radiolaria are microscopic unicellular sea creatures that create skeletons from silica. Their skeletons are among the most beautiful and complex natural microstructures, resembling elaborate filigree. blog post: n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/blog/?p=9861

Chonky black and yellow bumblebee-like robberfly, chilling on a green oak leaf. Side view

Close shot of the creature's face; big black compound eyes and a yellow "beard" nearly covering the face

Very close shot put the creature's point yellow face floof. It's almost like a lion's mane

Close shot of one of the creature's feets, black with two claws and little orange flappy pads behind them

Just your normal classic bumblebee with the normal number of wings and totally a vegetarian, don't worry about it

(bumblebee mimic robberfly, of course 🖤)

A black and white inkcap mushroom in autumnal leaf litter.

Found an old photo of one of my favourite mushroom sightings - a magpie inkcap :) Haven’t seen any this year (or since); this was taken in a nearby woodland on this day in 2017.

Close-up of the apothecia of Rhizocarpon lichen. Apothecia look like black gravels that are embedded in yellow, cracked thallus.

Colony of rhizocarpon on rock. The thallus is smooth yellow with cracks throughout. Balck apothecia that look like gravels are seen.

I was sure this gravel stuck in scrambled egg thing was Rhizocarpon geographica, but the lichenologist instructor said you’d never be sure about Rhizocarpons unless you do DNA test. Fascinating, anyway. Ikenotaira, Tomi, Nagano #Lichen #FungiFriends
