A little rubber boa tail added to the forest for #snake#naturetober. Can you tell I wasn’t feeling very ambitious?

Because sometimes people need to hear this: If you want to make some art, just make it. If you're worried it's going to be bad, that's fine. Make bad art just because you want to try. You don't have to show it to anyone if you don't want to. You don't have to finish it either! Just do it for fun!

I added a pinedrop to my #naturetober#sciart#nature#botany

An embroidery hoop with moss, a beetle and a red and yellow pinedrop embroidered on white fabric.

This gooseneck #barnacle#naturetober is a good example of why freehand embroidery and perfectionism don’t mix. 😐

Day 3 of #naturetober#gills and I didn’t feel like stitching a mushroom. Enjoy this “rustic” nudibranch!

For day 1 of #naturetober the prompt was “beetle”, so I stitched this cute burying beetle. Hopefully my embroidery improves this month!

An embroidered burying beetle, black with orange spots.

I’m trying to get back into creative pursuits and put together this list of prompts that I gathered by flipping through a stack of field guides. Who wants to join me this month? #naturetober
