Knitting in Biology 101

The seller writes:

3 out of 4 biologists agree: Knitting in Biology 101 is the cutest biology project, ever! If you think so too, then this, my friend, is the art object for you.

Wow your scientist friends and colleagues with the coolness of this piece of knitted art. The frog is hand knit from a silk/wool blend, and his little innards are needle-felted by hand out of 100% wool. He comes pinned into his wooden 8 x 10 inch frame, but he is not glued down, so you can take him out and cuddle him if you wish.

Piggy Artwork

The seller's description of this poignant piece:
The severed head of a hog hangs suspended in empty darkness, the tiny dark eyes peering out from the folds of pigskin attached to painted board. Lost and beautiful it's face speaks silently from it's seeping and desperate hell. Four and one half feet tall, by three feet wide.

Dead Ant Pendant

Since the Paris shows declared dead insect jewellery to be the epitome of klarse, we cannot go past this pendant. A lovingly preserved ant is displayed in a glass vial against a fern leaf backdrop. Some of us would prefer a tarantula or a praying mantis but sometimes an ant is just the thing.
