I missed my Twitter community! I thought I’d share a thread of all of the embroideries that came to life while I was away, and the people that inspired them! 🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵
First up, a semipalmated plover for Terri Mitchell, a friend and colleague, and General Manager of UIC Science. 🌊 Check out this very cool article on the science support provided by UIC Science in Utqiaġvik Alaska: digital.akbizmag.com/issue/january-… #SciArt
Next, a loon and their precious cargo - for Denise Wullschleger, who I have long admired. 🪶 #SciArt
Next, an embroidery of the #DogsOfJustice for our very own @waterbarnes!🌈 #SciArt
@waterbarnes Next, a special lily for my lily-loving friend Meredith. 🌺 #SciArt
@waterbarnes Next up a, um, hookworm wearing a Fargo hat? For Tina, my favorite and funniest veterinarian. #SciArt
@waterbarnes Next, pasties for my Cornish friend Clare. 🥐 #SciArt
@waterbarnes Next up, a muskox skull for a dear friend - Bob Busey. A cross-section shows the very cool spiral nasal cavity - an adaptation for breathing cold air - and a ‘horn ring’ adds the perfect amount of steampunk for Bob. #SciArt
@waterbarnes Next up, an embroidery of ice wedges embedded in a soil profile along the Noatak River…all of it precariously held together by the tiny mosses above. For one of my favorite soil scientists, @aaberhe, as a little reminder of her trip to the Arctic last fall.:)💙 #SciArt
@waterbarnes @aaberhe The next embroidery was a graceful bowhead whale in the Chukchi Sea.🐋 She was for Lindsay at UIC Science. #SciArt
