#WIPWednesday • I finished the burgundy roiling and added small black French knots to the abdomen area and am now extending the nerve endings of the diaphragm. This might be the last section of this #VagusNerve #embroidery! #SciArt #MastoArt

A close up of an embroidery focused on the abdominal vagus stitched in blue chain stitch in perlé thread on dark green cotton. There are many layers of crossing wavy lines. Spiralling around the very straight main vagus is single strand whipped back stitch in electric blue. Some roiling burgundy back stitch in burgundy perlé thread is between the blue. Sparse tiny black French knots are stitched in the gut area. The nerve endings in the diaphragm area are being lengthened with two strand whipped back stitch. A needle minder in the shape of an hourglass that reads, "This is taking forever," sits near the stitches holding a needle.

I've never been able to get into Stoicism, but I still like reading about different philosophies. However, I also know that that is one where a lot of popular works deviate badly from the original.

So, a question: are Ryan Holiday's books solid/accurate? Are they in line with ancient Stoic philosophy? Are they a purely modern interpretation? Are they worth reading for growing my non-expert knowledge (in a positive, not just critiquing, way)?

#WIPWednesday • I actually managed a lot of #embroidery this week! I finished the burgundy in the left side of the abdomen and started on the right. #VagusNerve #SciArt

An image of an old engraving of a vagus nerve is embroidered on green cotton. The gut is in a large bamboo embroidery hoop. The embroidery of the main nerve lines is done in blue chain stitch in perlé cotton. The brain and some of the face is stitched in the same thread in backstitch. Details in the face are stitched in single strand floss. A bright red anatomical heart is stitched in red whipped back stitch. Around it a bright golden yellow halo in a vesica piscis shape is stitched in single strand thread. Three sets of ribs have are stitched in bright green/yellow stem stitch. There are some tiny details in different colours along some of the nerves. Burgundy roiling is stitched in the left gut area and started in the right. A needle minder in the shape of an hourglass that reads, "This is taking forever," sits near the stitches holding a needle.

A day of sweet wonders: A mutation of grey-cheeked thrushes hung out in our yard, and I found violets blooming in our front lawn.

It’s #MEAwarenessDay 💙 I got sick with a virus the summer of 2015 and had to quit everything. I’m grateful I was able to find ways to make art again, but I’m still very limited in what I can manage. Here’s some ways you can enjoy my art & help the #MECFS community
