what we learned from #DinoCon - people like invertebrate weirdos, MORE INVERTEBRATE WEIRDOS! - MEDIEVAL WEIRDOS - if the t-shirt is stupid, double the amount (we are completely out of DON'T DO IT GRAMPA t-shirts) - we support women's rights and wrongs and will make a DON'T DO IT GRANDMA version

I will always champion human-made art, with every fibre of my being. I am currently in the process of planning out some free resources and initiatives to support folks getting into paleoart - stay tuned!

so nice of the shiny metal pins to arrive... JUST AS WE ARE BACK FROM #DinoCon well they will be on our Etsy once we rest and start sorting everything out thanks to everyone that stopped by for a chat, bought some art, complimented our art, or was just confused at our placement of Charlie 💚

day one of #DinoCon was so successfull we almost ran out of "don't do it grampa..." t-shirts! (a single XS and 2XL left) no time for photos, but managed to snap the mammooth duo before Caramel left for their new home 🦣 Mocha is still waiting for theirs!

Two fluffy crochet planters of mammooths, one is cream and the other dark brown, with two little plants in them, sitting on top of a crosstitch pattern, with some blurry other crosstitch patterns in the background

see you tonight at the table setting up! unfortunately we will be missing some inventory because of COURSE they only left the print shop now, so by the time they make it we will be very much in Birmingham already... don't worry, plenty of whimsy and color will still be available!

Belated #FossilFriday from the schools day at the Lyme Regis fossil festival, I ran an activity where the children drew what they thought ammonites, belemnites and crinoids looked like in life, we then spoke about taphonomy and how we figure out what extinct animals looked like from their fossils!
