Butterflies

 

Remember the butterflies ? 

I love butterflies and I love the idea of 1.5 million handmade butterflies in one exhibit,

  

too bad I don't live close enough to go visit in person, but I am sure that there will be pictures appearing on line for me to enjoy. Anyway, I thought I'll just repost this as a little reminder for some of you that might have seen this, thought to participate and make one and then put it on the backburner for a bit. The deadline is 31 December and we are quickly getting into that crazy busy mad time of year again.  So here goes....if you want to make a butterfly and send it in to Trudi at Two Dresses Studio, this probably is your last chance just follow my link. Have a fluttering day ♥

Free Spirit

In my handmade Coptic journal with the different papers.
I made this journal when I did the
Pam Carriker Strathmore workshop
This journal page was inspired by
Monica Zúñiga's free spirit group
As always, after I finally decide that enough is enough already and I post it,
I am not completely happy with it, maybe I should try and free my spirit some more still....

The Butterfly Project - Effect

Together with all te mermaids at the moment

I have also been working on some other things.
One of them my butterfly for the Butterfly Project
or hosted as the Butterfly Effect through Two Dresses Studio
They are aiming to collect 1,500,000 butterflies by June 30-2012
I have a link button at the top left here in my blog, so
if you have some time join this wonderful project !
If you need some encouragement to do so
view this video clip
Well without further ado...this is my butterfly, front & back

Fairy

8X12 inch canvas

Another gift, this time for a third birthday of a friends daughter

I found some beeswax !

-funny enough: in an amusement park where you go back in time

follow the link, it was FUN and we got to make candles, so I had my beeswax !-

...it's a bit yellower than my yummie one at home though...

a Cinderella Story

Quick, quick, she's late, she's late....

She started out as a Marie Antoinette

she ended up more like a Cinderella

among many other materials

I used the "old stone wall technique"

She is on 15.5' x 20.5' Marine-wood

(that's what they use here to build boats with, hehe)

Best of Times

Printed cotton on Pine

12x16 inch (30x 40 cm) approx.

with Coloured pencils, Pan Pastels, Acrylics, inks, stamps etc.
