That’s this week’s artistic prompt from MMM this Monday. The canvas painted by Diane is so beautiful and she used a brilliant gel transfer too, so it’s altogether my favourite piece of work by her so far!
I have made a fantasy triple-domino, butterfly doll which I’m entering this week. It didn’t turn out quite how I’d visualised it, but I have it hanging over the mantlepiece at home and it’s very striking – sort of like a long-tailed Lady Moth!!
I used the 3 different sizes of bamboo dominos with corresponding Deco Ladies images from Ten Two Studios, a lot of wire and beads and a huge leap of faith! I did ask Lisa whether she thought the wings should be bigger, to which she replied that it is a case of Designer’s choice! Very tactful and non-committal – *grins*
Although this was a one-off, I really think there might be a ‘family’ in the future!! 🙂

Thanks for your kind comment on my flying “piece”, and your welcoming attitude toward digital art! For those of us with limited space for arts and crafts, digital art is a joyful endeavor. My blog has given me an opportunity to appreciate and enjoy all sorts of art,–stamping, fabric, collage, oil, acrylic, watercolor, and gluebook; and to come to know the most generous and talented bloggers of like minds.

/ March 30, 2009Rosie, you do the most remarkable, creative entries!!! This triple domino bug is just wonderful and show so much ingenuity. I love it and I would hang it over my fireplace, for sure. I like the proportions, i.e. the short wings, but I think he might have trouble getting off the ground in RL. But then he is a fantasy bug, so anything goes. Right?
