Butterfly/Moth

Santolina and Peony and Butterfly

Wool on the hoof

Having never drawn or painted a sheep this was a fun challenge. Just finished reading Barbara Kingsolver book Flight Behavior , a wonderful read set on a sheep farm in the Appalachian mountains. The book is also about climate change and the monarch butterflies, further inspiration.......

For several art challenges.

Monarch

Just finished reading Barbara Kingsolver's "Flight Behavior". Her description of the Monarch butterflies is wonderful an amazing wordsmith. Highly recommend this book. More monarchs to come!

Look Mr Bear

Look Mr Bear a flutterby!
When my daughter was little she called butterflies flutterby's most appropriate I think.

This is for inspiration ave butterfly challenge I was determined to get something done and posted. I have had things ready to go but have been too late last few weeks :)
Also for Creative Everyday these challenges keep me painting.

This Mr Bear joins the others here and here.

Bye Bye Butterfly

A little rhyme that is from a cloth book I have put together for a spoonflower baby book challenge. I will post the rest of the images but you can check out the fabric book layout at the link above. It was interesting to figure out the paging. I'm not too sure my instructions on how to sew it together are all that clear.

My mind has been consumed by Christmas puppet plays....
