@futurebird the queen on the top makes me weirdly happy
I think it's on the bottom... like a surprise.
But I think having her there kind of explains why they are... like that.

@futurebird
yes my post is ambiguous too. Mata Ortiz is 1. a city in Chihuahua State, and 2. the style of pottery they're making, reviving the ancient techniques and colors and design of the pottery of an archeological site nearby. the precursor and initiatior (40-50 years ago or so) is Juan Quezada Celado, and now with many artists it's striving again!@bituur_esztreym @futurebird spouse had a Mata Ortiz artist come into the classroom to demo for the students a couple times
incredible work

https://www.etsy.com/listing/4393721145/ceramic-sgraffito-bowl-with-ants?I just wanted someone else to look at the nice ant art. Maybe it will inspire YOU to make ant art.
Is a house really a home without some ants?
I found another remarkable ant vase. This one has a charming surprise inside.
It's a harvester ant!
Is it silly to have an ant making bread? I assure you it is not. Harvester ants crush the seeds they find and make them into a paste known as "ant bread" I suppose they don't bake it though...

@futurebird Ants would bake bread if they learned how to harness fire without cooking themselves
