  • Needles & Neurons

    Science Art

    Science embroidery for charity. We know that fabric can tell stories and caries cultural importance. But using embroidery to tell scientific stories is a different level. We love the work by Needles & Neurons by Hannah Warming (Link tree and Instagram). The image of embroidery next to the logo shows an embroidery of retinal glia cells that was inspired by Zeeks artwork. Make sure to check out the Needle & Neurons artwork and designs (Photo and artwork: Hannah Warming).
