::The Science of Fiber Art::

A little sciencey shopping on Etsy today led me to these wonderful, creative finds...

Fairyfolk on Etsy--a store that is full of some of my favorite felted items--like the needle felted nest and acorns below...

And for the geeky brainiac, here is
a crochet pattern from candypopcreations for a brain hat! Check it out here.

And isn't this the most amazing little sea life looking plant brooch? It comes from City Crochet.

The sweetest little mouse by Felting Dreams--out on the town with his backpack and purple-buttoned jacket. So sweet!! You must check out all of the sweet little mice in that shop! I want every one of them.

And finally, this amazing knitted version of a frog dissection. I have done so many real dissections in my life (earthworms, cats, birds, snakes, frogs, sharks, dogs, sea stars, crayfish, grasshoppers, fish, sea urchins, rats, and yes, humans) throughout college and when I taught Zoology that the "grossness" of dissections doesn't even phase me. But for someone who gets creeped out by them, or who really appreciates the fiber arts--this is just the ticket! How surprisingly accurate it represents the internal structures. Yes. I am not just a crochet nut, but a science nerd, too! Now you know.

That's all for now. Hope you had a little fun with me!
