Limenitis arthemis
You can find more information about this beautiful Red Spotted Purple butterfly here, and it is a mimic of the toxic Pipevine Swallowtail, Battus philenor. I can tell you that the iridescent blues on the wings have to be seen to be truly appreciated. Enjoy!

How to Make Butterfly Hairsticks
With my long hair, I tend to wear it twisted up and back. I’ve found that the plastic clips break, metal ones are expensive (and I tend to lose them). I do wind up using pencils and paintbrushes as hairsticks rather a lot, and sometimes I just want something fun and fancier. I made these…

Taking a Deep Breath
It’s been a long week, and yesterday was tiring. Since David Pascoe was good enough to take today’s Mad Genius Club post with the continuation of his story (go read it, it’s good) then I am free to take a deep breath, smell the flowers, and come back tomorrow renewed and refreshed. Sorry for the…

Little Pluto
The littlest planet, which has inspired so much science fiction, is finally entering science fact. This morning (EST) the closest flyby ever captured images of the airless world. Those images won’t be available until tomorrow, but in the meantime, here are a couple lovely portraits. As with the comet lander Philae, this project amazes me.…

Wedding Photos
Scott Bragg was one of the two photographers at the wedding, and he sent me some of his work this morning. Since I’ve been under the weather, trying to keep up with kids, and have a gig this afternoon, I thought I’d share. Thanks, Scott!

Dragon Flight
A group of dragons is called a Flight. For my wedding, I designed and made chainmaille dragons to give to the people who are sharing our day in some way. Tonight, each of these little guys will go to their new owners as the First Reader and I formally join in matrimony. The little dragons…

Making a Big Boom
The United States Air Force, since it’s inception in 1942, (see addition below) has been in the business of dropping large explosive devices onto targets and making them go BOOM. The history of war from air goes back much further, of course, to the pilots who flew in WWI in tiny airplanes, and would drop…

Nose Art
We visited the United States Air Force Museum with friends, and had a wonderful time. Going with a pilot, and a man who fought on another continent in a forgotten war meant that the stories were overflowing, and wonderful. I absorbed as much as I could, and of course, I took pictures. Lots of pictures!…

Art in Three Dimensions
Most of my art these days is in two dimensions, flat on paper, whether through the medium of the photograph, drawing or painting, or words. But it wasn’t always that way. Way back in my teen years, I dabbled in sculpture. Cute little sheep and frogs, I don’t think I still have any so you…
