#hermit crab
Look who we found at the beach this weekend.
WhenTim Jerman was a child, he couldn’t decide whether to become a marine biologist or an artist. So he became an artist who created intricate glass sculptures of aquatic life.
This piece, “Hermit Crab” (2000), is in our @americanartmuseum.

Behold, my new favorite creature
Some of you may be aware that I harbor great affection for hermit crabs. I own terrestrial Caribbean hermits. Your mental image of hermits may feature a wardrobe of gastropod (snail) shells, which are by far the most common mollusk contractor they use to construct their homes, but as I’ve discussed, they actually have great…

I can only assume that the the “diogenes” in its name comes from some parallel drawn between the hermit crab’s shell and the philosopher’s habit of sleeping in a large jar.

Have a good day folks!
It’s really starting to feel like summer here, so wanted to do a summer themed house!
Also, felt right with the exciting reveals from Animal Crossing New Horizons. Beach Houses! Placing furniture outside! Clams!
Want to do a series with a house for each season, so that leaves fall and spring. :)
