We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

A small book, made using Atlantic bay scallop shells. The book features tiny drawings of estuary plants and animals from Nova Scotia. - #SciArtSeptember Day 16: Scallop

An open book made of paper pages and a scallop shell cover. The book is open to a simple ink drawing of a duck. The book's pages and cover are pink. The book rests on a wooden table.

A hand holding a pink and purple scallop shell. The shell is bound along one side with green thread, making it the cover to a small book. The background is a wooden table top.

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book has been republished. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.

A little late for #caturday, but look at this utterly beguiling woodcut by Richard Bawden (son of Edward Bawden, also great at depicting cats).

Poster for a Richard Bawden show at the Fry Art Gallery: a tabby cat with fine stripes and yellow eyes standing on a small armchair , which is just its size, an array of patterned cushions behind it, red, yellow, and white. There are cat portraits on the wall on either side of the sofa. The cat is looking hard at us.

AQUAHUMAN! A hybrid figure merging human and fish-like features: scales, wide-open eyes, downturned corners of the mouth, distinctive traits reminiscent of sturgeons. Discovered at the Mesolithic settlement of Lepenski Vir, the sandstone sculpture dates to approximately 6200–5950 BC. 🧵1/3 📷 me

PUBLISHING BLOG: Tip: Write the name of what is in a box of publications on the side of the box if they start piling up. I just discovered about 175 copies of a publication that I reprinted because I thought it was out of print. They were in an unlabeled box. Oops!
