I have to admit I'm a tiny but saddened that Bruce Peninsula did not make the top 10. I am very excited to check out Patrick Watson however, who has a chance at his second Polaris.
Annnd...I had almost forgotten to add this (thanks for the reminder!), but here's the wall-hanging I made for the Phd student who recently graduated from my lab. This present was not only to say congratulations, but also to say thank-you. He hired me on when I first came to join the lab and has been very supportive throughout my time working here. This wall hanging represents one of the plots he restored with alvar plants on an abandoned Southern Ontario quarry. All of the fabrics are reclaimed from abandoned items around my house. Good thing I squirrel away every little bead, ribbon, and sparkly bit that crosses my path.

O, and a close-up of my tiny couched signature because I like the way it turned out.
