Animalia - Handmade Animal Inspired Gifts

 

 

As most of my friends know, I adore animals - always have and always will - in all their glorious shapes and sizes and colors life story.  Well, ttruthfully, I’m not too fond of mosquitos and ticks, despite their important role on this earth.  Besides dogs and horses, it’s hard for me to pick out a favorite animal.  I'm fascinated by all of them.  How about you?  

 

But just what is the term “animalia?”  ANIMALIAa taxonomic kingdom comprising all multicellular living and extinct animals - also called “metazoa.”

 

According to the Animal Diversity Web, it estimated that around 9 to 10 million species of animals inhabit the earth.  Metazoa range in size from no more than a few cells - such as the parasitic orthonectids - to organisms weighing many tons - such as blue whales and giant squid.  By far, insects make up the most species in animalia, with approximately 5.5 million species. 

 

Having such a life-long love of (most) animals, I decided that a blog based on “Animalia” would be fun to pull together.  I invited artist friends to share two handmade items that were based on animals.  What a wide variety of beauties were shared, many one of a kind designs.  If something catches your eye, please make sure to either click the photo or the link below the picture for more information.  I hope you enjoy this showcase of animal art!

thanks

Interesting article.

Thank you!

What a great article, Catherine. Just like you, I love all animals with the exception of mosquitos and ticks. I do not understand why God created these creatures but I guess I need to google the benefits of having them around and maybe I could let go of being bitten. Haha. Having to live in Indonesia where mosquitos are abundant and they are quite selective in terms of choosing their victims, I came across them very frequently. I always need to shut the doors etc and being a plants lover too, it is hard to be outside in the garden and not to get bitten. Mosquito repellent is a must and I do not know what the long-term effect of applying it to our body is.

Thank you so much for including our sloth stickers and farm animal invitations. Sharing on Twitter, Pinterest, and FB.

Thanks so much, Catherine!

I love this theme and getting see all the beautiful artisan handmade items everyone has shared. Thanks for including my lampwork beads and lampwork bone pendant.
