Hello Musefans.
This week’s article is entitled: A Tribute to Art and Craft on a Science Theme; or, An Homage to the Artist-Scientist; or, What-we-did, What-we-saw, What-we-found-out.
Skipping straight on to the ‘what we saw’ – here are my scientific observations for this week. There are PLENTY of scientists (myself included) in craft. In fact there’s a whole Etsy Team. And see here: Princeton University’s Art of Science Gallery.
NATURAL HISTORY: 1. Proper old school tadpole diagram embroidery from The Voracious Brain.
2. Spore Prints most beautiful from Resurrection Fern’s blog. And a tutorial here.
3. Lady scientist print card from The Spotted Sparrow on DaWanda.
4. June Beetle linocut print pillow from the Sugar & Fig Etsy shop. Customers who liked that also liked this. Wonderfully detailed drawings of Coleoptera by, coleopterologists. Here.
BIOLOGY: 1. Giant fluffy E. coli by Scientific Culture.
2. Canadian Keri Rounding brings us her spin on bench science with her ‘Petri dish’ brooch.
3. Beautiful free-crochet one of a kind Amoeba Brooches by Sarah Aires.
4. Detailed animal cell plushie, here on Instructables. Check the endoplasmic reticulum!
MOLECULAR SCIENCE: 1. Endorphin necklace by Molecular Muse who says “This stunning choker is inspired by the primary structure of human beta-endorphin, a natural opioid that gives a morphine-like (natural) high. I made each of the 31 amino acids of this polypeptide as a separate link, joining them together at the peptide bonds.”
2. ‘Bucky Bowl’ by The Polymath Design Lab. A play on the structure of ‘Buckyballs’ – or Buckminsterfullerene if you’re a chemist.
3. DNA banding pattern bangle by Fictionary Duck.
4. A piece in silver, in the Radiolaria range by Nervous System. This is what a radiolarian is.
ANATOMY: 1. Ex-Anatomy text book handmade envelopes. A personal favourite of mine from Sugarcube Design.
2. ‘Protecting My Heart’. Ribcage bobby pins in HModine’s Etsy store.
3. Hello Victory specialise in vintage treasures. See her blog here for Sneak Peeks at her vintage finds and preview Hello Victory store items!
4. I Heart Guts is the brainchild of an anatomically obsessed illustrator who loves internal organs and all they do. They really heart guts, and stoopid slogans. Look for the ‘Smells Like Spleen Spirit’ T-shirt! Really it would be rude to speak of anatomy and of the Jungian Artist-Scientist archetype without spotlighting the number one master of all trades – Leonardo da Vinci and his scientific observations; in particular the most famous and important Vitruvian Man. Please have a read through this wealth of information. Da Vinci’s achievements in both Art and Science are astounding.
CHEMISTRY: 1. Sandra Kohlman’s wearable spin on the periodic table. Man I love the periodic table!
2. Sick of wasting valuable minutes of your life that you can’t get back by turning down the overly confident pursuer? The Gramkin Paper Studio produces these tongue-in-cheek courtesy cards.
3. Folksy’s chemical romance – Gold! jewellery by Finest Imaginary.
4. I really need one of these! I adore these coffee cuffs by Ragnazidnar hand embroidered with the Caffeine molecule. Cool, practical, eco friendly and geeky. Just my cup of coffee!
PHYSICS:
1. Particle Zookeeper Julie Peasley has had a lifelong interest in cosmology, the quantum world and theoretical physics, and now hand makes Subatomic Particle plushies from the standard model of physics and beyond.
2. Dr David Huffman, formerly of the University of California at Santa Cruz created complex and original folded structures in paper. He worked with both straight and curved folds, using mathematical techniques developed over many years. See his collections here. So, origami seems popular as a teaching tool, a small group of students on the University of Georgia campus has spent its summer making paper models. Read about it here.
3. This wonderful children’s book is one for the over-achieving theoretical physisist! Electricboogaloo is Tiffany Ard. And according to her biog page she’s biggest nerd you will ever meet.
4. Another canny professor. A crochet visualisation of a complex Lorenz manifold. Featured in Science News, and brought to the masses on Boing Boing.

And finally, check out how innovative researcher Michelle Khine, of the University of California (man aren’t those Californians resourceful?) used Shrinky Dinks® to create this piece of hi-spec lab equipment.
So, had enough Science in Art yet? Or want a little bit more? And to finish. Some thing silly. Singing is an art right? Pinky & The Brain Anatomy Song-
