I made the Orange Guy a while ago, and as I finished him, I thought he looked like he was waiting for the bus. I finally got around to making a bust stop for him.

Also, I thought he looked like a relative of this guy from a craft book I had as a child:

I decided I had to place a terrible pun in my classroom cabinet today. I doubt any of my students will get it, or even notice it. So, I wanted to show it to the internet.

Enjoy.

These are going to be my contribution to charity auction at this year’s Desert Bus for Hope coming up in November, which raises money to buy toys for children’s hospitals. These are needle felted versions of the plastic toys that three D&D monsters are based on. However, you’ll notice I’m missing the plastic version of the Owlbear, which looks like this: 

If anyone has one of these toys they’d be willing to part with, please message me! I’d love to be able to send it to the auction as a completed set.

I would really like it if someone combined these two videos.

I was thinking about the parakeet’s eye in place of the raptor’s, but frankly, I think any combination of these two would be amazing.

New needle felts of mine are up on my Etsy site, Plush Pangolin Creations. At the moment, the descriptions are pretty bare-bones, but just send me a message if you have questions about them.

Northeast Ohio people, this Saturday and Sunday, I’ll be at the Oddmall at the John S. Knight Center in Akron, selling my needle-felted animals. Look for me at Booth 16! 

I’m still a little nervous, as this is my first proper craft show, but I’m sure I’ll manage.

I'm set up at the Oddmall, waiting for it to open. Come visit me today or tomorrow in Akron!

March For Science Cleveland

I was excited to be able to attend the March for Science in Cleveland today. A few of my students had been hoping to attend, and I was glad to act as a role model. It was good to see so many large Cleveland institutions in support of this, like Case Western Reserve University, John Carroll University, Holden Arboretum, the Museum of Natural History, and the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.

Today helped me remember that, as a science teacher, my life is Science Advocacy. My literal job is to help fifteen-year-olds recognize how the world works, how science affects their life, and what they can do about it.

Fostering curiosity is always job number one.
