Butterflies …
Every year I tend to look for and photograph a lot of butterflies. I feel a sense of peace while watching them, observing their flight patterns, and ultimately photographing them. This year I’m behind and only got out recently. There were only a couple butterflies, but they were perched on a some flowers long enough for me to take several photos. I’m happy to start getting into the butterfly groove.
I can’t resist playing in Photoshop. I like this one.
There are a couple small tweaks that I’m making to it, then I plan on
printing the image both on fabric and paper. Watch for it. :)
An update: I did even more playing in Photoshop with the above design and came up with several variations, including something larger and hopefully more visually interesting. Stay tuned. You may see it in the future.

Love the tweaking in Photoshop! Are you going to show some fabric when printed?? That’s something I want to look into…

Speaking of printing, how is the ‘new’ printer?

Thanks for the kind words! :)
Linda, I’ll show once I make something with it. I have a design that I did last night that I’m hoping to print and make. I wrote out notes on it in my journal. My fear is that too much other stuff is going to push it to the back burner.
Fulvia,
The new printer is excellent. I’m still not using it as much as I had hoped to, BUT I did print out a new small piece which I recently finished the quilting on. Plus I printed some photographs. The color is very nice – rich without being gaudy or oversaturated at the expense of detail (fussy girl that I am). Thanks for asking!
