inspiration with wings

 

As I have said before... I generally have several projects or ideas running through my head at one time. One certain project has been on my list of things to do for months now. You can probably guess just what it contains? Yep, butterflies. I have been researching the different species, and am slowly compiling information for a new series. I browsed flickr for some gorgeous photography, and created this mosaic. I thought you may enjoy it as well. I am still not sure exactly where the series will go, I have so many different ways I can push the project, and I really cant seem to decide. Vintage with soft subtle textures, and muted hues... or bright and vivid with eye popping color?  I may end up creating two separate series. Otherwise I may go crazy wondering just how the other would have turned out. A nursery/child themed series is also a must. It seems I have been thinking more about kids themed art, with the addition of our new baby coming soon. :)

 

1. Butterfly, 2. desirous attachment, 3. fly away, 4. Yellow and light blue (HASSELBLAD 500C/M), 5. Can we go out for a dinner?, 6. Butterfly Hearts, 7.

Another Glass Wing Butterfly, 16. pumpkin wings


Speaking of nursery/kids themed art I have completed another print, that will also be available in a print set, and probably the first in a new series as well. I havent listed it yet, but it will be available in a rainbow of colors. Insuring it will match any nursery. :) I really should take the time to list it. Sometimes I feel like I should be squirreling away and stockpiling a few new prints for after the baby is born. The shop will most definitely slow down after the new addition arrives, and I hope this does not scare people away. :)

I keep thinking, I will save this print for later... but I always end up listing it! I cant seem to decide if it would be better to make the product available at the earliest convenience or if it would be more important to have new art still listed on a regular basis during a slow time? It seems I am kind of undecided on this issue. What do you think? What would you do?





 





I am going to leave you with these super sweet pictures. I have spent a great part of the day looking back on Trins baby pictures. It is making me anxious to hold a baby in my arms again. Wasnt she just the sweetest little baby? So photogenic, she really loved the camera. I have also been browsing flickr for super cute newborn poses. I am starting on my birth announcements, and am going to include pictures into the announcement. So having ideas beforehand is really a must. :) I need to start addressing envelopes, and stamping them all. I plan to have them professionally printed, so I would love to have everything as done as possible! :) Wish me luck!
