Making these this complex could be a big roadblock to creating phenology wheels. You can choose one thing/image for each wedge. I watched someone who chose a theme for each month and chose one thing from her garden to paint each day. She also had the weather each day.
I saw one wheel where the person drew a smaller wheel inside the bigger one for weather. She wrote the temps in but you could draw clouds and write temp if you wanted as well. I thought that was a clever way to incorporate. Also saw one that was just leaves, and everyday she would pick a different leaf to draw. It was an interesting picture of time.
Those are both great ideas for a phenology wheel! thanks for sharing. Miriam Morril has been on the nature journal show before and she really does some cool stuff with weather in phenology wheels. You can see that episode here: th-cam.com/video/yNtIyZ1vMRQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tHotaQfrrhhaZfb7
This is so cool! When I first moved to Ecuador - I was surprised how much seasonality there is here and how ephemeral it is. Sometimes a population will explode for just 2 weeks before disappearing again for a whole year.

@@machaontarot5514 great tip, thanks for sharing! There seem to be so many ways to doing these which can be a roadblock in itself.
@@MarleyPeifer Decision paralysis gets me so much with art projects! I can make ANYTHING so it makes it hard to choose SOMETHING

It would be fun to do a phenology wheel completely focused on bugs!
Thank you for these great thoughts
You are so welcome!
they look so cool, but not for me. Consistency in working on one would drive me crazy. Thanks for all the tips tho.
I understand, the hardest part for me would be to have an art project that lasts for a full year in one place!
