The Introvertebrates

debating if... we make this an unhinged t-shirt for the shop?

I still very much want to have some form of medieval animal sticker sheet for the shop, though it will probably be the absolutely amazing medieval invertebrates

(egg horse is pretty majestic too)

tiniest new science charms arrived! we didn't expect them to be more popular so we ran out during Christmas Markets.

DNA, gel, pipette, microbe and tube to choose from 🧪

#SciArt #HumanMade

man we really hope we get a table @dinoconuk.bsky.social again this year, esp with all the recent (in our eyes) positive publicity!

the con was such a joy last year, even for two introverts surrounded all weekend by people

hahaha YES!
we aim to cover the niche "weird fly species" market whenever we can

we MIGHT have sorted our international shipping number! so everywhere (except the EU) could be a-go soon!

still missing as a listing on our etsy, but you can also flag it as a "custom order"! www.etsy.com/shop/theintr...

an embroidery hoop with a white cloth with 20 small pins, most wood some metal, the designs are cartoony ammonite, mosquito in amber, party tardigrade, simple black line extinct sea inverts, and a bunch of semi-realistic sea inverts (slugs, cephalopods, starfish), spiders, insects (mosquitoes, beeflies, beetles), nautilus, ceratops skull

2025 pin roundup! we definitely prefer and stuck with wooden ones, they just work so well for invert drawings (from silly to semi-realistic)

wondering what #SciArt pins we should make next year... probably some science equipment and more weird inverts

photo of Fiona in a blazer and a christmas jumper with a sad fluffy yellow t-rex, the stall is super colourful and has a tree with baubles, jewelry, keychains, dinosaur planyers, t-shirts, stickers, coloring books.

today's Cambridge Science Park stall! somehow not as many Christmas baubles sold, but the #SciArt cat and dog scientists and moving neck/tail dinosaur planters were a HIT! 🐕🥼🐈

well we did send our paperwork in October...

we are working on having EU shipping next year! getting everything sorted in the UK has been a back and forth of digital forms and mail forms and the online system not working... so EORI number still pending. once we have that in the bag we will be UNSTOPPABLE!

the worst photoshop ever of Dragons of Wales PFP of a brown dinosaur munching a blue surgical facemask, but it is on a dark green t-shirt of a fluffy yellow t-rex with a christmas hat unable to open their present because of small arms, then some stickfigure hands and a tail

EXCELLENT choice, much fashion!

I’ve been @petrathepostdoc.bsky.social - fied

Yep the wonderful Petra dropped in at the @dipteristsforum.bsky.social at @zoologymuseum.bsky.social to share a small hug and splatter me with merch

Beeflies, Tachinids and the wonderful Mosquitoes

a silly little dodo crochet planter, with a dark beak, white face and wing tip, brown body, and a silly little yellow eye, with a purple african violet, sitting on a round slice of wood on a wooden table.

same dodo crochet planter, but now shown facing forward, looks like a silly borzoi dog, with a purple african violet inside, sitting on a wood slice with little feet poking underneath, on a wooden table.

look at this baby, she could be yours and NOT make your plants extinct... hopefully

a teal scrunchie covered in semi-realistic fly drawings on a jeans leg.

a dark blue scrunchie covered in semi-realistic butterfly and moth drawings on a jeans leg.

i did partially save them all as transparent pngs because my friend @fionatel.bsky.social wants to do more scrunchies with the designs for our etsy shop @introvertebrates.bsky.social lol

originally wanted the gel and pipette charms as stud earrings

which is to say we will still do it, but wanted to test on keychains first
