#rock pool
This month is inktober!! A marine biologist I follow on IG (@marinemumbles) is holding a series of art prompts called #rockpoolaroid with a list of ocean themed prompts that I am very excited to work on! October is a month for celebrating creativity (no matter skill level) - feel free to join along on IG!
Enjoy my first messy watercolour of the month - a crab!
Love spending my time drawing flowers of the sea
Did you know that sea urchins in the wild wear shells, rocks, leaves, and algae as hats? It’s theorized that they use the hats to help weigh them down and to protect them from predators. They might even help protect the urchins from UV rays and help camouflage them.
In aquariums apparently urchins kept taking parts of the exhibit to use as hats - including items like baby corals. To help keep the exhibits intact, staff started printing small 3D hats for urchins. These hats were not only functional - but made aquarium urchins so much more fashionable than their wild friends.
More sticker sheets? Yes please!
These can all be found in my Etsy shop now! Such a fun summer project - can’t wait to cover my envelopes and postcards with these
