Fungi Embroidery

 

Who knew fungi could be so pretty? Besides Carolyn, I mean. She’s a PhD student and these “furry friends” are actual fungi that’s she’s studying in the lab. She was so smitten with them that she decided to stitch them up as a decoration for her desk. I love it! You should definitely check out her blog, Allspice Abounds, for a more detailed explanation of this piece and some great close-up shots of the stitches.

And for all you 90s nerds out there, see if you can spot the Wayne’s World reference in her post.

Amigurumi Yubbla Creature

Amigurumi Yubbla

Etsy seller lucyravenscar crocheted this wonderful creature Yubbla,

a creature that lives in mossy areas around tree roots and rocks. Yubbla hop around, eating bugs and fungi; peaceful unless attacked, when their horns prove most effective at deterring predators. However, if approached carefully and presented with edible gifts, they will become very friendly. It is wise to encourage them in the garden, for not only are they pleasant company but they will make themselves useful by eating pests such as slugs.
