Feminine and pretty, Flutter incorporates die-cut upcycled watercolor paper (from my student work hoarded over the years) on a background of aged paper from a 19th century Art History book that I decoupaged to thicker rag paper and cut into chunky shingles. Ombre ribbon festoons the top and all applied decoration is pinned and therefore could be removed and rearranged. I am working on some cake dummies to help the viewer visualize all my toppers but for now I'm posting these sitting upon my Milk Glass Cake Stand.
I gotta admit, I really was trying for this shot, or something like it. These sulphurs have such nicely colored wings it's a shame that you can't see them when they're perched. So, I spent some time trying to catch one in flight. This is the only one so far that I'll post, and I'll keep trying for better!

Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation (AFib) are two types of abnormal heart rhythm. Both conditions can make your heart beat too.
The symptoms are often similar—mainly palpitations and lightheadedness.
Atrial flutter occurs when an extra or early beat starts an abnormal electrical impulse that moves around the right atrium in a circular loop.A person's heartbeat tends to be rapid but regular during atrial flutter.
In atrial fibrillation (or afib), the roaming electrical impulses randomly trigger the AV node, leading to a fast and irregular heartbeat.
The main difference between the two is that atrial flutter often can be cured with radiofrequency ablation, a procedure that destroys the tiny area generating the abnormal electrical impulse but this is not so in atrial fibrillation because of difficulty in locating and destroying all the trouble spots triggering the AV node to cause fast and irregular heartbeat
Once upon a time, little you and I sat and admired all the colourful, jewel-like little bugs.
I know wiser me looks more closely now, for the strangely beautiful in the familiar.
Do you?
Took this about 2 years go, and went hunting in iPhoto after remembering I tried to photograph the orange butterfly without getting up off the rock. Go find it like I did :)
Right now (last week of June) a super-abundant emergence of the rare Regal Fritillary (Speyeria idalia) is occurring in the tallgrass at Spring Creek Prairie. It is an exclusively tallgrass prairie species, threatened by continued habitat loss. More on their habits and habitat is here: www.gpnc.org/regal.htm
I must have personally had over one hundred sightings during a four-hour period as I walked about during the 2010 Bioblitz at the prairie. At this stage, they flutter quickly and seemingly erratically around, along the tops of the grasses, occasionally diving back down into the grass where they pause before re-emerging to continue their flight. Capturing them in image during this stage (with my skill and equipment) is a matter of sheer luck! Here and below are a few of my luckiest.

I used a page of a book for the background. The insects and flower are colored with Polychromos pencils.
about 3 or 4 years ago, i bought a potted chrysanthemum at the flower store in chelsea market. it was nice and all, and then of course, it died. rather than toss it in the trash, i planted it in my backyard for the winter. now, it's a hugh bush!
today, this raggidy monarch was feasting on it.... it's my favorite butterfly! i remember being a kid, visiting my grandmother in the mountains. she made me a butterfly net, and i would run in the fields, catching them.
once caught, i'd bring the butterfly inside, and my grandmother would soak a cotton ball in eather, put the butterfly and the ball in a lidded jar, and it would die.
she'd take it out and use stick pins and put it on a piece of driftwood.
i was all happy, until one time the butterfly didn't fully succumb to the drug, and it came back to life and frantically started fluttering against the pins!!!!
i still caught butterflies, but after that, i let them go....

I really like this collection of fabrics called Flutter by The Quilted Fish for Riley Blake Designs. Loving blue and orange together just now. But when I laid it all out to make a quilt, somehow it just didn't speak to me the way I thought it would. After having a little play and pairing up the patterns, I decided to have some zippered -pouch/coin-purse-making fun. And fun it was!
