The third and final leaf vest in my video, and my favourite of the 3, is this dark brown late autumn leaf. It's quilted, but much less densely than the previous one, and I pieced it together out of 2 slightly different shades of brown cotton.

The veins are embroidered in whipped chain stitch (for the denser areas I whipped all the rows together 2 at a time) and there are some patches of blanket stitch honeycomb to imitate venules. I wanted the leaf to look a little bit rotten. The beads along part of the bottom edge are inspired by a beautiful photo of slime mould growing along the edge of a leaf posted by Bea Leiderman on instagram.

Recent world and personal events have me feeling really over it today. But lichens are still there. Lichens are always there. And they make it all worth it.

Stay safe, stay strong, stay around, and stay you, in spite of it all.

When I was a little girl I dreamed of one day being nasty, off-putting, and insane, and I am so glad I have found a career that allows for that. This morning my boss asked me to go into the forest and collect slime molds and so I did. Just crawling through the dirt, cutting bits of rotting bark off of logs with my knife, hanging with the toads and bugs and slugs on the forest floor. And I get paid to do this. I am your local cryptid and I could not be happier about it.

Hey don't cry, okay? We just found Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna, a species thought to be extinct for the past 60 years.
