This is the first challenge in a while that I actually took time to sketch out some ideas for. Most of mine were visual puns and this was the easiest one so I did it first.
One of them I actually laughed out loud while I was sketching it out. I hope it turns out as funny as I think it is :-D
Pages done for Decorated Page Workshop, Lesson 4 Cutouts and Addons plus Patterns and Motifs, also Lesson 3 stamped background.
My big Roman numeral ten is both a cutout and an add on. I got to use my new embossing gun here. The silver was done with a rubber stamp that I made by just cutting an eraser with a serrated knife.
The X's/Roman numeral 10 serve as both motif and pattern. The hand carved stamp that I stamped with my new Versamark inkpad is also patterning. I love the Versamark! I'm going to get a lot of use out of that one.
God of Wings
Description: Urbanus is a genus of butterflies in the order Lepidoptera, subdivision Bombycina, superfamily Papilionoidea (still being called Hesperioidea by some entities), family Hesperiidae and subfamily Eudaminae. They possess a wingspan of approximately 38-48mm, averaging at, seemingly mostly, 46mm. The subject portrayed is SEEMINGLY a male, but there are no guarantees on this information as it is based on very tiny visual details and I might be mistaken.
Synonyms to this taxon include:
Goniurus procne (Plötz, 1880)
Teleus procne.
The larvae are polyphytophagous.
According to Cesar of Insetologia, the identification is suggested as U. procne because:
"All should occur in the Ceará state (www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v11n4/pt/fullpaper?bn019110420...), I can't discard anything from here;
U. simplicius' (www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/urbanus_simplicius_live1.htm) highlight seem to be due to the patterns on the second pair of wings;
In BugGuide (bugguide.net/node/view/1379402/bgimage), someone comments about a clearer mark beneath the club of U. teleus (www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/urbanus_teleus_live1.htm), differentiating them from U. procne (www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/urbanus_procne_live3.htm), which in your specimen seems absent;
I could also note the same trait of U. teleus in U. tanna (www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/urbanus_tanna_live.htm), not being, however, evident in all specimens;
In U. tanna, the fringe of the second pair of wings is more highlighted, more clear, which merges with the previous characteristic indicating this is a U. procne." - www.insetologia.com.br/2018/09/borboleta-urbanus-no-ceara...
They are located from Argentina, North through Central America and Mexico to Southern Texias. Strays can be rarely found up to Southern New Mexico, Southern Arizona and Southern California. They have a very wide distribution in Brazil, South America.
U. procne possess brown wings. The forewings possess two thin, longitudinal white stripes, the one distal from the body being shorter. Scent scales on the costal fold on the leading edge of the forewings are characteristic to the males. The brown spot close to the costa is separated from the inner stripe on the underside of the hindwings. Adults are tailed. Eggs are laid by the female on the host plants; when born, the larvae will feed on the leaves. When young, the larvae will live in a nest made of a folded leaf. Larvae are green with a reddish "neck" and a large dark head, varying in a darker coloring throughout instars and can reach around 35mm by the last instar. When older, the larvae are red-brown with a finely stippled white and broken white mid-dorsal line. The head is large with a constricted "neck" and narrow pronotum. They will hide during the day on the base of the plant and will feed during night. The pupa is made inside a loose cocoon, hidden and camouflaged in leaf litter. (books.google.com.br/books?id=qMwOAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA32&...)
The pupa is dark brown and can be found here:

Eggs are rounded and whitish-yellow. The egg-adult process takes around 40 days.
In Southern Texas there are three broods throughout the year. Host plants include Cynodon dactylon ((L.) Pers., 1805) (Poaceae: Chloridoideae: Cynodonteae) ("Bermuda grass"), Sorghum halepense ((L.) Pers.) (Poaceae: Panicoideae: Andropogogoneae: Sorghinae) ("Johnsongrass") and most of the Gramineae family.
Their habitats include grassy openings in tropical and subtropical primary or secondary forests. The species is suffering decline in the lower Rio Grande Valley, requiring security, monitoring and conservation. Seemingly, they are not under threat due to their very wide distribution, but they are rare in some of those areas like and, especially, the periphery.

The need to facilitate orientation and communication through visual organization principles, was the starting point for the design of the uniforms of official personnel during the Olympic Games.
A contest judge had to look different from a ticket controller, a health worker from a technician. All told 88 groups of persons needed special uniforms. To make this multitude clearly understandable the personnel was categorized in superordinate groups under the aspect of related functions:
Personnel of the Organizing Committee
Contest judges
Technical services
Hostesses
Doctors and health personnel
Security guards
Sport site personnel
Cleaning personnel

"Fleeting Impressions" is a visual metaphor crafted by Duncan Rawlinson, capturing the interplay of warmth and coolness that parallels the dynamic of certain relationships. This piece combines the meticulousness of photography with the fluidity of AI innovation to depict the contrasting dance of hot and cold hues. It reflects the complexities of connections that oscillate between passion and tranquility, much like the natural interplay of sunlight and shadow. Just as in human relations, the image holds spaces where warmth seeps into the coolness, suggesting a balance that is both delicate and evocative, a nuanced blend that Duncan skillfully brings to life through his artistic exploration.

i have finally spent some time updating my blog a bit this year. Soon I will have my etsy site up as well. I'll be selling handbound sketchbook journals, original art and some prints.... I hope you are all having a beautiful 2010!
A lovely carousel at Fontainebleau, ah it was so cute! check out my tumblr where I'll probably post more photos sporadically!
