Winged Bug Inspiration


Winged bugs frequently stop and rest on the outside of our windows…I like these closeup views very much.

I am amazed by the idea that their delicate wings can carry them wherever they want to go.  And this wonderment is what inspired me to create a dragonfly of my own.

My little guy has a body made from a mini-clothespin…

with watercolor painted heart-shaped wings…

…which brought about this thought:

There’s nothing quite like playful creativity to lift the mood…wishing you all lots of light and love.
