Neither Elephant Nor Shrew (2025) - needle felted anthropomorphic sculpture by Lynn Wartski of a Golden Rumped Sengi (elephant shrew) holding a lotus blossom, seated on a natural wood base. Sengis are insectivores that are not true shrews (actually, closer biologically to elephants!) and are considered a symbol of resillience and adaptability. The lotus is also a symbol or resilience because of its ability to grow out of muddy soil. Brown sengi with distintive yellow patch near tail, with white/pink lotus blossom
"Neither Elephant Nor Shrew" is my newest #sculpture of a Golden Rumped Sengi (elephant shrew) with a lotus blossom. #needlefelt #art #anthropomorphic #fiberart #elephantshrew #sengi #lotus #resilience

Wooooow 😊 👍
Been using Fedistar for a few days now. It does a lot right, but it is not good at displaying threads.
When I click on a post in Sengi, it (usually) shows me the whole thread. Fedistar sometimes does that, but usually it just shows me the post, without any replies, or the post that it's […]

#Fedilab - בסביבת אנדרואיד
#phanpy - דסקטופ לפיד הבית
#sengi - דסקטופ לחשבונות מרובים, ריבוי רשימות, סטייל טוויטדק, פתוח ברקע
החוויה הכי טובה היא של phanpy ש"קורא" הכל באופן שקוף, ומתממשק לחשבונות המגושרים מבלוסקיי, משרשר שרשורים, מקבץ ריטווטים. נראה טוב
Sengis are adorable, impossibly-snouted mini anteaters on stilts!
