Erlenmeyer Imposters - for discerning women in science

The classic Erlenmeyer flask, designed in 1861 by a man, epitomizes the scientist cooking up miracles in the lab. As a tribute to the many overlooked women in science I have designed a series of bold felted flasks wrapped in silk images of wonderous things you find in the lab - fungi, slime mold, lichens - well you tell me what else I could add. One I call the Lady Erlenmeyer is wrapped in silk images of my science field notes from 1986 and data from the third wave of COVID-19 in Toronto. The flasks send a message - we are here to stay - rigorous, determined and highly visible. Click on image for descriptions and sizing. Prices range from $300 to $650. Unique hand crafted felted items with a special stir stick to whiz around. Some have clusters of french knots dotted about. Later flasks show landscapes and incorporate various 3d elements like Shirbori tying to resemble woodlands or lichen soridea.
