I'm obsessed with paleontology and it still amazes me that this is something that was alive ~400 mya. It's amazing.

Trilobite for ! One of a series of prints of the ubiquitous and wildly successful trilobites, prehistoric creatures which lived for 100s of millions of years, carved by hand in linoleum, printed onto lovely Japanese washi papers and collaged with papers in different colours. This trilobite was a Cheirurus ingricus which lived during the Late Cambrian through the Early Devonian era. šŸ§µ1/2

There is a exhibit at a local museum! Well I'm just all excited this morning. If you live in SE you should check it out! The Cranbrook Institute of Science is a treasure all on its own.

Happy ! I've done a bunch of watercolours starring invertebrates lately: organisms washing up on the beach, an descending upon an unsuspecting , and and running into one another on the shore.

Carving and am cursing myself. Blanks I cut about a year ago, and must have been trying to use up odd piecesā€¦ cut the one in front with the grain running sideways instead of lengthwiseā€¦ oops! Itā€™s making carvingā€¦ interestingā€¦

Iā€™m excited to have this quilt top done, but, boy, am I going to miss having these bright fun fabrics around the sewing room! The top ended up an oversized lap at 68.5 x 80ā€ so Iā€™ll need to find a rainbow wideback to finish it. When itā€™s quilted, I hope to donate it to a local LGBTQ+ organization for a fundraiser šŸ¤žšŸ»

Originally, I wasnā€™t going to include antennae because the trilobite fossil I had as a child didnā€™t have them and thatā€™s what this quilt is based on. But then I saw someone here on Mastodon mention all trilobites actually had antennae, just some didnā€™t fossilize. So I course corrected mid-project ā€” thanks for the save paleo-Mastodon!

I have done the math and done the math and done the math and thereā€™s STILL a mismatch between these two sections

After all the tiny fish blocks in my last quilt, making this giant trilobite has been a relief to piece. Itā€™s nice to see something come together a bit quicker for a change āœ‚ļø šŸŖ” šŸŒˆ

Feels good to have some bright, happy Libs Elliot fabric on the design wall! Itā€™s her 2020 Phosphor line ā€” Iā€™ve been saving it for just the right project and itā€™s perfect for this ā€œqueer was always hereā€ inspired work-in-progress

A trilobite fossil, what a sight to see
A creature that used to walk so free
It roamed around in seas of old
Through time and space, its story told

Though they are gone, from earthly view
They still linger, in sedimentary stew
A reminder of time, with a sense of wonder
I stare at the stone, trilobite's still under

Its body, covered in bony plates
Strangely shaped
Strangely placed
Amidst the slate

An descends upon an unsuspecting . While they are often reconstructed swimming sideways, recent studies have shown orthocones actually swam upright in the water column, so I drew them more like a claw game, grabbing prey from the sea floor. This specific trilobite species has in fact been found with an orthocone having taken a bite out of it!

Trilobites from the Mount Stephen UNESCO World Heritage Site, part of the mid-Cambrian (510-505 Ma) Burgess Shale. Photos are all you can take!
