gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 07/09/2026There are usually classes at Mpls Community Ed and White Bear Center for the Arts, amongst others. Pro tip, Mpls Community Ed classes fill really fast but then you are added to a wait list. They usually will schedule more classes for the wait list. 010
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 07/09/2026It happens a lot! When I submitted my first crop art piece in 2019, so many people my husband and I know actually learned about it for the first time right then. Co-workers, friends, family members…and a lot of them made sure to go see it! 130
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Dude. What on earth is going on with you these last couple of days?! 110
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Hey, @lightmikey.bsky.social is a friend and just experienced his first Minnesota State Fair! He and his wife Olivia had an excellent time in Minnesota where they visited all the things! 040

Reposted by gayleDarkandSpookyMikey @lightmikey.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The crop art exhibit at the Minneapolis state fair is a wonder. Photos do not do them justice, it is awe inspiring to see it all in person. I am especially happy to see the art of two friends in the exhibition, so they start off this very long thread of amazing works of art. 26715
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 04/09/2026There will also be crop art at the Mpls Institute of Art and Boreal (right near the MN State Fair). So three options to see more crop art! 140
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Perfect! We have a lot of lurkers so that’s nothing new. But you never know, you might feel the need to make something in seeds and plant parts some day! 020
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 30/08/2026It’s definitely not FB. I help admin this group that was created by the amazing @stpauligrrrl.bsky.social and we worked together to add the questions. Bots are always trying to get in, so we use the questions to make sure you’re human. We do look at these seriously and read every request to join. 250
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 30/08/2026There are always a few, but they are usually pretty subtle. I’m glad that more are participating, I wonder if they might have thought they wouldn’t be put up. Here’s the thing, free speech is for everyone. 110
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 30/08/2026This is probably the longest line for crop art I’ve seen first thing in the morning? I was there yesterday doing crop art demos and it did settle down from about a 2 hour wait to about an hour later in the day. 082
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I was at the Minnesota State Fair both Thursday and Friday and can confirm the number of people there was crazy for those days! 030
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Three great opportunities to see crop art after the fair: 061
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 28/08/2026This is just a kickass piece of crop art! Bravo @stpauligrrrl.bsky.social on your well deserved ribbon! 1120
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Thank you! I’m so happy with how it turned out, although there were times when I questioned why I decided to make it a 14” circle. It was SO. MUCH. GLUING. 100
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Here are the seeds I used to make this: Basil Black Lentil Hulled Millet (painted) Mung Bean (peeled, split, and painted) Wild Rice White Quinoa (painted) 160
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 28/08/2026This is the crop art I made for the Minnesota State Fair. In January 2026 I saw a post from Andi of @afinkandink and immediately reached out and asked if I could make a crop art version. She graciously said yes! I got a 3rd place ribbon for my work! 822532
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 24/08/2026We all have so much fun making it! It’s really the best group of people. 110
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 24/08/2026It’s up to you! Some people are already posting their own pieces right now, but some of us won’t post until opening day. No one knows if they’ve won a ribbon until opening day. 010
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 24/08/2026This is a great feed to add for crop art. Once in a while you’ll get some weird posts that pull in, I just mute those accounts if i know that have nothing to do with crop art. Big thanks to @colefortner.bsky.social for making it! 260
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Currently playing painted seed chicken with my crop art piece. Will I have enough seeds to finish, or will I need to paint more? 390
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 20/08/2026So true. I’ve sworn so many times at these damn seeds, but it looks so good! And we do it to ourselves every year, for fun! LOL. 110
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 20/08/2026It’s painted hulled millet for me. It feels like I’ve been doing this FOREVER. 110
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I know, right?! I feel like I even started earlier this year and of course the end result is still the same. LOL 120
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 18/08/2026It doesn’t impact anyone else, but for me I should be helping set up the crop art drop off area, which I didn’t realize until a few days ago. But I mentioned that to Marta that I might not make Friday if I’m in a bad spot. LOL. So I’m hoping I can get everything mostly done by then! Wish me luck. 020
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 18/08/2026It’s definitely crop art crunch time. Worked on my piece for 9.5 hours yesterday. I also have to get it done early as we work the fix-it table at drop off, so I miss an extra day and a half of trying to get everything done. I do this every year, but do I learn? NOPE. 291
Reposted by gayleaurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Michelle Tafoya thinks it's seed art. 051
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I’ve been making crop art for the last eight years, and I still can’t estimate correctly how long it will take me to make a piece. My brain will tell me “this section won’t take that long”, and then 8 hours later it’s still not done. 160
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Just don’t get blood on your piece! No crop art injuries this year, please! 130
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 05/08/2026And when that happens I’m trying to figure out what would give me the texture/appearance I want. There can be many iterations to get it to the way I want it to look like in my head. Crop art is a harsh mistress, but I love the challenge so much. 010
gayle @geedee08.bsky.social · 05/08/2026One of the many challenges I have making crop art is that as I’m thinking about the seeds or plant parts I want to use (this is why it’s called crop art, people), is that sometimes when I think a seed will be perfect for a piece, in reality it’s not behaving the way I thought it would. 1/2 140
