Sporophytes

#Mosstodon #moss #sporophytes

Building #sporophytes holding fresh or ripe #spores for my #moss #embroidery. I am working with a magnifier because the tiny #rocailles are size 9/0 and the wire has a diameter of 0.315 mm. It took a time to invent sporophytes for an embroidery. Now I have still to solve the problem how to fix them. The wire is so thin that I have to make holes with a needle. It always feels like an adventure to test a new idea ...

They are called #sporophytes of #moss: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporophyte

Believe me, it is at least as complicated as the word to try to recreate them artistically. For my embroidered moss, I'm currently experimenting with a wire that I can barely see. And glass beads that I can only work with tweezers, they are so tiny. I have not yet solved the problem of anchoring them upright.
I'm fascinated by the link between #nature and #art! #mosstodon
