"We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think its forever" - Carl Sagan
That's a problem of mine - I see butterflies and think they need to hurry - they have so much to do and so little time. They, however, seem perfectly content fluttering slowly from flower to flower taking their time and enjoying the day. I'm thinking I could learn a lot from a butterfly.

Very cool Michelle! Love the text for butterfly bodies!
Hi Michelle
Just read your article on Julie's blog - it was like you were talking straight to me across the Atlantic - I am just that very crafty person who never thought I could "do art" - and just like you here am on a journey !
I have been trying to learn to draw - deep breath, pick up pencil - actually place pencil on page (see no clap of thunder or lightening bolt at me daring to presume I can be an artist !) and draw some lines. Keep trying & trying - and hopefully something recognisable will start to come out !!! And then why not go the whole hog & try some watercolours !!
So far just doing paintings of the plants in my garden - trying to pluck up courage to attempt a small scene !!
So brilliant to hear your words & have them strike such a chord with me !
Yes...it is very simple and very well done. It's so clever, and attractive!
Michelle, i LOVE the simplicity in this - the limited color palette, the black lines. Just beautiful. I don't know why, but it makes it seem even more fragile to me. Really love it. You have a knack with composition and knowing how to arrange your artwork so that it's even more interesting. Lovely work. xoxo
Wow! Divine illustrations ~ love butterflies ~ thanks, namaste, ^_^
very cool! love the clean, no color look.
What a lovely comparison, it's exactly how it is! =)
Beautiful butterflies! :)
I like it too! Simple is better sometimes and this is one of those times - looks fab!
We definitely need to pay more attention to other creatures of nature and learn from them. Nice collage!
