“Birds of a Fiber”: Deadline this weekend

Do you create with fibers? Do you have a thing for birds, science, or conservation? We do too and we hope you’ve sent us something for our show!

This is just a last-call/reminder: Deadline is Sunday, March 1.

We are so looking forward to reviewing all the submissions in the next couple of weeks!
