The biology of human reproduction, as well as lot of women’s health concepts, fascinates me. I’ve been focusing on conception and fertilization, and though I have plans for a larger and more complex public education illustration/infographic, have initially worked up a triptych of sorts. Some surprising statistics I’ve come across during research: • some 20-50%… Continue reading Fertilization Triptych Biological Illustration

C2 Axis vertebra pendant
Now the C1 atlas pendant doesn’t need to be so lonely! Freshly photographed and made available on Etsy is the C2 Axis vertebra pendant! It lays surprisingly well on the neck, even with the bony dens.

Cat-Friendly Crafty & Abstract Christmas Tree
I was about to get out our little christmas tree to put up again this year, but then I started thinking about our cat. Who would climb it, and knock it over, and knock off the ornaments, even if we only put up a few.
