putting some old tapestries up on here :^) tragically these are the only photos I have of this piece, as it sold several years ago. looking back it's one of my most ambitious and complex tapestries, and I wish I had spent some more time with it before selling it, and taken the time to photograph it more properly.

based on this painting of a black stag in lascaux cave:

ftr I am forever going to be bitter that the post I wanted to be "let's talk about extinct ecosystems and how cool they are!" got derailed into yet another post just talking about a single taxon like the millions of other posts on palaeoblr

it's natural materials o'clock again & i made a stone golem.

a while ago, my partner's mother was moving and getting rid of some things, including a collection of rocks. i love a good rock, and when presented with a large wooden box of them, wanted to make a creature. i flirted with the idea of making something a little less stoney and a little more posable, but ended up deciding on this non-articulated sculpture. it has a metal wire skeleton, some tinfoil padding, and then just A Ton Of Rocks glued onto the frame. the face is a lake rock i found and painted some years ago, but didn't end up doing anything with until now.

We need help, it's an emergency. Please help. Jasper has a possible foreign body, and will need more imaging and maybe surgery. It could be $3-4k. It's probably quite survivable but we are going to come up short by a chunk of that because we have just laid out for other repairs.

Please god please. Help us. Please.

Please help. If he makes it we will have to rehome him and Junie to someone who can more effectively manage their constant scrounging and their vet bills, since other things keep breaking for us that HAVE to be fixed. But please he needs to make it to then. He has to make it.

If your life is horrible and you need a new source of meaning and direction.... Do NOT find religion. Learn to identify plants.

they could have said, like, "we made a new wolf morph, which shows how far genetic science has advanced". they could have said, "we're calling them direwolves out of a love for the extinct species." maybe too much to ask for but would have loved it if they'd pointed out some kind of ecological niche they were theoretically intent on resolving - like, "wolves are having trouble adapting to human sprawl and we are hoping that our research into the past will help us save wolves in the present."

but alas they did not do this. and see this sucks because i want to be hype about new bigass fantasy wolves. there is a 7th grade version of me that would be ecstatic about this. she would be obsessive.

unfortunately, due to capitalism, now i gotta have beef with puppies. can you imagine.
