Now on ScienceBlogs: The Galaxy's Biggest Valentine
You will notice that it lacks definiteness; that it lacks purpose; that it lacks coherence; that it lacks a subject to talk about; that it is loose and wabbly; that it wanders around; that it loses itself early and does not find itself any more. --Mark Twain

My birthday is mere months away, and Stephanie Metz's beautiful art would be a lovely gift for me or anyone else whose opinion you respect.
I happen to think the teddy bear skulls are a bit twee, but this is badass:
Yes, children, I said a dirty word, but no other word can accurately describe any skull that has been lovingly crafted out of felt. The posters showing embryos made out of felt would also make nice gifts.

That skull is a vision of loveliness. I'd like to see more but unfortunately her website isn't functioning "due to high traffic volume." Are you that influential? :>

Stephanie's a fantastic artist and I'm proud to say that we own one of her pieces, a crow that I commissioned as a present for my wife. It is wonderful to both look at and touch.
