Flutter by Butterfly

Okay so I know many of you are aware that the lovely Trudi Sissons over at Two Dresses Studios has been asking for butterfly donations, but for any of you who missed the call and may be interested here's the deal...

The Holocaust Museum in Houston Texas is dedicated to educating people about the holocaust, the millions who perished as a result and to remind us all of the danger of apathy, prejudice and hatred and where it can lead. One and a half million children died as a result of
the holocaust and in rememberence of them the museum has launched project butterfly. They would like to collect one and a half million butterflies which will go on show in the spring of 2013 in what should be a momentous exhibition. Now the lovely Trudi Sissons has volunteered to collect handmade butterflies from you. Would you like to make one and join in? All you need do to join the fun is click on the butterfly image below to go to her blog and read the details. It really is easy. Just make your butterfly and post it to her and she will on forward them to the museum. It is that simple. Come and join the fun and your butterfly can be one of the many too.

Here's mine, posted and on it's way across the seas to Trudi.



A few fabric scraps and a little copper wire and hey presto...

a butterfly.




Winging it's way to Trudi as we speak.

Come and join the fun. Just click on the butterfly link below to jump to Trudi's blog and read all about it.

Hope to see your butterfly flutter by too.

Paint Play

I've been feeling inspired to play with paint again.


seeing red...




flicking my brush...




and having some fun.


Nothing specific in mind...


Just enjoying the moment.




What are you up to today?
