You have Ernst Haeckel to thank for “phylum,” “phylogeny,” and other terms that boggled your brain in biology class. The late 19th-century zoologist, naturalist, philosopher, and artist also named thousands of new species and created intricate illustrations of microorganisms.
Now, a 14-time Kickstarter creator wants to reveal the hidden beauty of the microscopic world through a new volume of Haeckel’s work. Keep scrolling to support it, along with more projects inspired by the wonders of nature.
In addition to prints of critters with flowers for eyes, you can back Caroline Gaudreault’s project to receive a custom portrait of your pet adorned with her signature floral peepers.
Use this worksheet from The Creative Independent, a Kickstarter-published resource for creative people, to map out the emotions and experiences you hope to cultivate in the new year.
