Trilobite Mermaid

My final for the first year of my fashion and textile course :] fossils cardigan featuring living fossils like coelacanth and lots of dinosaur bones. Big love letter to palaeontology and natural history. Got super into my knitting machine but I wasn’t very adept with it yet so I sort of crocheted around the edges of my pieces and sewed them all together, and crocheted some edges/ribbing. The buttons are handmade from polymer clay. Used some second hand gold yarn I found in a charity shop and a whole bunch of mixed variegated wool together. My most ambitious project yet I completely just did not speak to people for that final month I was working on this 😭

Some close ups:

And my watercolour paintings this piece was based on:

Happy Trilobite Tuesday! Sometimes a fossil specimen tells a story: One day in the Silurian Period, this 5-in- (12.7-cm-) long Arctinurus trilobite came to rest next to a Dimerocrinites crinoid. Despite their flower-like appearance, crinoids are marine animals related to sea stars that use feather-like arms to catch drifting food particles. This fossil, from the Rochester Shale Quarry of New York, is a snapshot of life some 430 million years ago.
