Some of his findings are subtly alluded to in the layout of the pea flowers, like a Punnett square depicting a cross between two pea plants heterozygous for purple and white blossoms.

*He had initially set out to study the rules determining plant hybrids but was able to later reinterpret his data to look at heredity with a species.

I love the weird and wonderful terms of venery - the collective nouns for groups of animals (and other things). Some are evocative, some strange and obscure.

For #WorldOceanDay I thought I would share a print with both a vertebrate and invertebrate ocean species. This linocut and gel plate print shows the humpback whale swimming above and a close up of the whale below with six Coronula diadema barnacles.

The Coronula diadema name comes from its barrel and crown-like shape, which can grow to 5 cm (2”) tall and 6 cm (2.4”) in diameter. 🧵

Happy birthday to #mathematician Felix Klein (1849-1925). This is a hand-carved and hand-printed image of the famous mathematical object, the Klein bottle, printed in a gradient of pale yellow-green to darker blue-green on paper 8” by 8” (20.3 cm by 20.3 cm). First described by mathematician Felix Klein in 1882, this object has a single surface, rather like a 3D version of a Möbius strip. 🧵

Enjoy a wee rat mini linocut for World Rat Day (invented by pet rat enthusiasts to challenge any rat stigma). They do actually make great pets.

Working on my next linocut for the #printerSolstice prompt carbon! A geochemist for my ongoing series of #womenInSTEM portraits.

Katsuko Saruhashi (1920-2007) made the first measurements of CO2 in seawater.

I’m excited to join #printersolstice - the element themes are a great fit for science stories I want to tell. But I have no time to carve now, so until I can catch up, here’s a the earliest recorded #alchemist for “gold”: Mary the Jewess (aka Maria Hebraea, Miriam, or Maria Prophetissa). She likely lived in 1st century Alexandria. Zosimos of Panopolis (~300 CE) relates that she wrote a treatise called 🧵1/n

For #ArtAdventCalendar day 3 my final hand-printed lino block print with gel plate printed areas is about Coronula diadema, a barnacle which specializes in humpback and some other baleen whales for #InsertAnInvert2024. Each print is 20.3 cm x 20.3 cm (8” x 8”) on lovely Japanese mulberry paper and shows the humpback whale swimming above and a close up of the whale below with six barnacles. 🧵1/3

For the #Spacetober day 15 prompt celestial event: the Transit of Venus.

Much like a solar eclipse, when our moon's orbit brings it between the Earth and sun, the transit of Venus occurs when the planet Venus passes directly between the sun and us (or any other planet) partially obscuring or occulting the disk of the sun. Venus is much larger than our moon, 🧵1/n

The next shelled creature prompt for #InsertAnInvert2024 is a crawler - an invertebrate which can drag itself across surfaces. I cannot resist the spectacular lined chiton (Tonicella lineata) which have amazing, varied, complex multicoloured patterned shells. 🧵1/2

Been stuffing my brain with collage and #printmaking inspiration for weeks …

... and just woke up from a nap with my brain excitedly spewing a dozen original print technique application ideas. OMG. Combining #collograph #gelliPrint #dieCuts #stamping #reliefPrint #stencilling #collage ...

Like trying to catch and keep snowflakes! 😂

The harder part is making it happen 😁
#iHaveADream LOL

I do have one design fully imagined, already. Based on an old drawing of mine. Stay tuned.

One of my mini memento mori prints, might have this on my grave to liven things up 🪦💀😂

A tiny linocut I made a few years ago: the red-legged grasshopper.

One of the most common grasshoppers in NA, these are the most commonly seen grasshoppers in the NE US & S Canada. Reddish-brown on their backs, yellow-green below, they are named for their orangy-red legs. In high-density, these grasshoppers can be considered a garden or agricultural pest who eat grain.

I printed my kite linocut on watercolour (without cyanotype*) and collaged Japanese papers too!

*previous (and future planned iterations of this print) are made on cyanotypes of a cloudy sky

I made 4 more in my series of related prints about leafcutter bees, each unique. Similar to the print in the pollinator garden, but the prints in my shop are on lovely Japanese washi paper & feature different plants. These prints are both about, & a sort of collaboration with leaf cutter bees! These small, but multifarious native bees are important …

Here’s another imaginary composite creature commission! This one was for a study group- a trio of friends who are studying the hammerhead shark, hedgehog and galah (or rose-breasted) cockatoo, respectively.

The HammerheadHedgeGalah is handprinted on Japanese washi paper, 9" x 11" (22.9 cm x 27.9 cm) in silver, brown and pink.

Happy birthday to French mathematician, physicist and philosopher Marie-Sophie Germain (1776 – 1831), known as Sophie. She taught herself mathematics using books in her father's library and by corresponding with leading mathematicians of her day, including Lagrange, Legendre and Gauss, …

#linocut, 3"x4".

Only one day behind now 🙄 Need to work on inking technique, although I think there's only so much that can be done with water-based ink (and I'm not going to roll out oil when I'm only printing a few of these at a time)
