@ferncomics has been helping me align my patterns! Here is my garden bug pattern, I will probably be moving from redbubble soon since they are adjusting their payment plans. I will post when I do.
it seems, they bear a pleasure so sublime, so decadent
Ever since I found out that earth worms have taste buds
all over the delicate pink strings of their bodies,
I pause dropping apple peels into the compost bin, imagine
the dark, writhing ecstasy, the sweetness of apples
permeating their pores. I offer beets and parsley,
avocado, and melon, the feathery tops of carrots.
I’d always thought theirs a menial life, eyeless and hidden,
almost vulgar—though now, it seems, they bear a pleasure
so sublime, so decadent, I want to contribute however I can,
forgetting, a moment, my place on the menu.

it's impeccably blue, I mean come on. also growing up I did a naturalist internship for teenagers and another teen took a pick of one of these climbing on my iridescent blue nail polish and the nature preserve still uses that photo in their promotional material, lemme see if I can find it for this submission, THEYRE JUST GOOD BUGS OK
so excited to wear this lil earth worm buddie all winter long 🪱✨
crocheting with cotton yarn and omg I wish I weren’t broke so that I could exclusively use cotton fiber; so soft and smooth and maybe 1/10th as furry/pilly as acrylic 🥺
