I've been dealing with a bot net attacking our website. I've started using Cloudflare while we figure out what to do to keep the site up. I want to make art not handle website disasters.

I came across Julia’s detailed drawings of jellyfish on Instagram where she goes by the moniker "queen.of.jellyfish" and was entranced. I’m so excited that she agreed to create new artwork for our puzzle! You can see more of her illustrations here: https://www.instagram.com/queen.of.jellyfish/

It is amazing to see so many of the sea creatures models in one place. I’ve been to see the glass flowers at Harvard and they have a handful of sea creatures on display there, but I’ve always wanted to see more. Unfortunately, the lighting and display for this exhibition were not ideal for really appreciating the finer details.

We visited the Museum of the Earth and saw an exhibit of glass sea creatures made by the Blaschkas: jellyfish, sea slugs, octopuses, hydrozoans, worms, anemones, and more

The optical clarity of these prints is pretty amazing. Model on the left was printed in standard transparent resin vs the right was printed in HeyGears PAT10 + sprayed with g115 clear coat

We’ve been experimenting with the transparency toolkit from HeyGears to create optically clear models of radiolarians, microscopic single-celled marine organisms that build intricate glass skeletons with stunning geometric complexity.

We’ve been designing and printing radiolarians in transparent resin for a while, but this is the first time we’ve been able to make them truly clear.

(note: Printer and materials provided by HeyGears. All opinions are our own.)

Big fox tried to nab my guinea fowl today. Don’t think he expected them to fly up into a tree and escape
