For 8 Questions: 8. if you had to describe yourself in one word, what would it be? Questioning.
The Question Mark is a North American nymphalid butterfly. It ranges from southern Canada and all of the eastern United States except the Florida peninsular, west to the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains, and south to southern Arizona and Mexico. They typically live in wooded areas, or generally any area that features a combination of trees and open spaces. The adult butterfly has a wing span of 2 - 3 inches (5 - 7.5 cm). Its flight season is from May - September. The silver - white mark on the underside of the hindwing (that can be clearly see above) is broken into two parts, a curved line and a dot, creating a ?-shaped mark that gives this species its common name.
ISO400, aperture f/11, exposure .004 seconds (1/250) focal length 300mm
“What is Creative Mondays?
Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.
So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”
We’re here! 2013 begins and the creative thinking kicks into gear. It’s usually about this time that I start thinking of the year ahead and what I’d like to accomplish. I’ve already got several ideas about my site and the direction I’d like to go and there’s a side project that I’ve been meaning to work on to show off my first year of Creative Mondays (stay tuned)!
This week’s design represents the endless possibilities, the ideas and the creative thoughts that are yet to be discovered. They’re just over that horizon! I took this photo during our trip out to see my parents over the Christmas break. Every single sunset was so beautiful with vibrant colours on a stunning December evening.

It's just contrails from a plane, but the wind made it into something resembling a question mark. Also, I thought the sky was incredibly nice.
So when Willow's mum aked me to choose a letter, I chose the 'Q', but then I suggested some punctuation as well...because you've got to know your apostrophes and such! My favorite punctuation mark is the ampersand; but I think a young child should get to know her '?' first.
I tried to make this look like a "brown paper package, tied up with string..."
Linen and felt, with hemp string, Sharpie, and dimensional fabric paint. I couldn't wait till the paint had dried, so it's still runny and wet in these pics.

Question Mark
Polygonia interrogationis
When I saw this butterfly, the brilliant autumn sunset red color of the wings caught my eye - so much so that I literally ran after it to try to figure out what it was. I was somewhat disappointed (just a little, really) to find out it was a Question Mark. But as I looked closer, that disappointment changed to amazement at the rich tones of this beautiful specimen.
So very definitely worth a look large.
