Is this a previously undiscovered Da Vinci portrait? Dubbed La Heterodontosaura by art experts, this painting bears striking similarities to the Mona Lisa, except of course, there's a dinosaur in it rather than a lady.

From my new book A History of Painting (With Dinosaurs), which you should buy.

Before I started the new #knitting, I did finish this #BobbinLace piece. But it has to rest on the pillow a bit before you take it down.

It's my first piece attempted with beading. And you do have to learn some bead management. It does take a bit longer. And wow, is it heavy now! I'm used to my lace being like a feather--heh.

The next chapter in this book (Jan Tregidgo's "#Torchon #Lacemaking) is a bracelet, which is my real goal. Something I can wear.

Just a tip, not all links should be clicked.

Be cautious phishing will and can happen here in the #Fediverse especially now with the recent influx of users from the #twittermigration

Impersonating popular personalities is a tactic that phishing campaigns use, and it takes time for moderation teams to nuke them.

Don't blindly click on obfuscated links, take some time and read the link, is it trustworthy, where is it directing etc. stay safe!

I posted too soon and then found the motherlode of public domain plant photos that look like #knitting: https://www.flickr.com/photos/146824358@N03/albums

So much #textile inspiration! Some of it reminds me of Mary Walker Phillips' work. #sciart

Native Places is a spatial humanities project of the American West Center at the University of Utah.

It consists of an interactive, layered map centered on Utah that encompasses the homelands of the state’s traditionally associated tribes. The map will record and restore indigenous place names to major landscape features and selected historical and cultural sites.

20 November 1945 | The 1st Nuremberg Trial started. 24 political & military leaders of the German Third Reich were tried. Twelve were sentenced to death.

The purpose of the trial was not just to convict the defendants but also to assemble evidence of Nazi crimes, offer a history lesson to the defeated Germans, and delegitimize the traditional German elite.
