Emilia Jarochowska 🇺🇦🌱<p>This will be a challenge to the fediverse connecting abilities: I need to make a costume of a <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/trilobite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trilobite</span></a> and of <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/Anomalocaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anomalocaris</span></a>. I am looking for any help: someone has made one already and is happy to share the details, a costume designed willing to take up the challenge, a handwork hobbyist with a knack for sewing/cardboard magic who always want to launch their skills onto a bigger stage.

Vickysaurus<p>My art in 2023 (6/12)</p><p>June: Anomalocaris, Dragon of the Cambrian. The realisation that most Cambrian creatures were tiny gave me the idea of a whole bunch of them hiding from a 40 cm long Anomalocaris while in positions reminiscent of a D&amp;D party facing off against a dragon. </p><p><a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Anomalocaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anomalocaris</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Cambrian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cambrian</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Opabinia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Opabinia</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Hallucigenia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hallucigenia</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/paleoart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paleoart</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/MyArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyArt</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/MyArtIn2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyArtIn2023</span></a></p>
