Gall Week Sticker (Ordering Now Closed)

Hello All,

Thank you to everyone who has been posting observations, making IDs, and spreading the word about Gall Week.

During past Gall Week events there has been a custom design printed on a shirt to mark the occasion. This time we thought we would try a sticker to reduce costs and lower environmental impact.

This alcohol ink art (pictured below) was created by my partner, Chelsea Niles, and is based on Diplolepis polita. Chelsea is the Program Manager for Interpretation at Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, and a stained glass artist in her spare time. She graciously volunteered to make another design for the event (she made last year's too) in her free time at home. Thank you Chelsea!

The die cut sticker will likely be 3"-4" long. The actual die cut outline may vary once the design is submitted to the printing company.

Sticker price depends on how many people want one, but I am thinking that $2 should help me cover the cost of printing and mailing. Any earnings outside cost will be donated to iNaturalist.

Ordering is now closed. I will order stickers and once they arrive address envelopes and send out.

Unfortunately, due to the amount of customs paperwork I would have to fill out to send each order outside of the US, I can only mail to US addresses.

Thank you all again for your work on the project and let me know if you have questions in the comments.

Ramsey

That’s lovely!

Fwiw, I’ve been looking for galls this week and seeing very little. I think our extra cold rainy weather in late winter has delayed, but perhaps prolonged out spring in the Sf Bay Area. Otoh, m enjoyed a bumper crop of fiddlenecks, buttercups, and storkbills.

If this was posted earlier, I missed it. It says it was posted less than an hour ago but the comments are as far back as 4 days ago. Nonetheless, I can't see the art.

@mmmiller I unpublished and republished this post to keep the number of Journal entries down while pushing this post up. I'll work on fixing the image link. (Just updated the image, should be working now)

I figured it was something like that. Our area is so far behind in regards to spring galls I haven't been closely following everything. All I was finding was old overwintered, fall galls. But I work in alcohol inks sometimes so I was interested in seeing the artwork. It's lovely!
