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.

Welcome back to the 'don't look now but the sky's doing weird shit' part of the year

The aurora borealis (northern lights) as two distinctive shapes over a mountain. One purple spike into a more diffuse green wave. Both very clear and strong.
