facing is all the way on (it’s keyboard fabric i’ve had for years)

he needs a title! shimmering chromatophores? idk 🧵🪡🧶🦑

a collage quilt of a rainbow-colored squid, cropped kind of closely, on a black-to-white background. the squid is quilted with lines and grids, and the background is densely quilted with pebbles. motifs in the fabric include cats, deer, lemurs, televisions, butterflies, plants, gems, insects, and snails.

closer in on the eye of the squid. the eye is quilted with iridescent thread. the circle outside the eye is unquilted and puffy. some fabric motifs here are cats, flowers, a tv, ghosts, mugs, plates, gems, and mushrooms.

the back of the quilt. the quilting shows through on the green and grey horizontal striped backing. it’s framed by a white print of a computer keyboard.

this one has always brought me great joy

very close up of a cream point flat faced cat looking to the upper left of the frame. his nose is tiny. he’s a little crusty. his mouth is slightly open. his eyes are gleaming. what is he waiting for?!

2024, I almost stepped on this Carolina mantis because she was on my front door threshold ... where I was stepping. I stepped over her and took some photos. The wings are gorgeous. #Invert

i also took a four hour nap earlier in the day. apparently the way to do it is fly west three time zones, sleep awfully and be outside having fun all day for three days, take a redeye back east, kind of sleep on it, and get sick when the plane lands..

i did sleep through most of the overnight flight, but the awful turbulence in the descent/landing overpowered my full dose of meclizine. i’ve gotten queasy on planes before but never had to use the lil bag. v embarrassing and awful experience so not want to repeat
