columbine

July 28, 2019 by admin

It’s a little hard to ‘read’ as a columbine. The shape reminds me of a fancy butterfly, I just need to draw in some antenna and eyes.

swallowtail

September 28, 2018 by admin

The curves on the edge of the Swallow Tail Butterfly make interesting patterns – it wasn’t until I looked at the whole circle that I saw the heart shapes toward the center. One never knows.

butterfly parts

March 10, 2018 by admin

There was a collection of mounted butterflies in a case at the Butterfly Pavilion, to include a Blue Morpho and the edges of a swallow tail. Because there are spaces between the specimens there are spaces in the cross shape that do not have butterfly parts as well. Thought I’d try this as an experiment.

the eyes have it

March 4, 2018 by admin

Always liked the “fake” eyes on butterfly wings, it distracts the butterfly’s prey and it makes for an interesting pattern in a mandala.

black and white butterfly

February 27, 2018 by admin

When I made this mandala, I just said yes! It pops, the purple adds a touch of color. Went on a photo shoot at the Butterfly Pavilion a couple years ago, love the color of their wings! Just a fun experience if you have a similar place near you – go!

butterfly wings

February 18, 2018 by admin

Butterflies are movement in the garden – beautiful, colorful movement. I enjoy having them in the garden. The speckles in the middle are reflected by the speckles on the edges of the wings in this mandala.

Painted Lady butterflies are migrating through Denver area mid September. I have seen a lot of them about on my flowers. They are in the previous mandala and this cross.
