Happy World Rat Day!

It makes me happy that there is a World Rat Day, and it is today!

There are a few widespread, commensal rats, but most of them are tightly associated with their specific habitat making them excellent ecological indicators.

Here is a mountain giant rat - one of my favorites!

In the backyard of the “Amsterdam Museum” (formerly known as “Hermitage”) you can find some ‘metal beasts’, made by artist “Junk-Art”. 🐀 ⚙️⛓️

The sculptures are handmade, sustainable, and the material they use is steel. It’s including sources such as bolts, gears, all sorts of motor parts, horseshoes and metal scraps. ♻️

#fedihelp #Rat erbeten:
Ich spiele jetzt seit einem Jahr #Ukulele und habe mich (fast) durch 2 Lehrbücher mit Videos gearbeitet. Leider gibt es den Nachfolgeband noch nicht.
Könnt ihr #Lehrbücher empfehlen, die nicht nur die absoluten Basics* abdecken? Mit Video wäre optimal, notfalls geht es aber hoffentlich auch ohne. Ich möchte nicht auf der Stelle treten, bis das nächste Buch erscheint...

#ThrowbackThursday to my second flat felt plushie I created 2 years ago when I had just come up with the concept and the name “Pocket Pals” and I was still very new to sewing, having started 2 months earlier.
The stitching is wonky, the thread I used for the embroidery and assembly was way too thick, but I actually still really love this little guy! I think the overall design is pretty well made!
