Emerging Monarchs

I didn't do too much in the way of art work this weekend. Wasn't feeling very good. Just didn't have the energy. I helped a bit with the back yard though. Jerry made a nice back porch extension area for my birthday. Of course his lordship loves it. Here's another view.

I really love it. Can't wait to sit outside and BBQ!

As we were doing all this building and beautifying, I came across a crysalis on the side of one of our herb pots and saw that it was beginning to darken. Well, this morning, there she was. Her wings still wet. His lordship was in the yard but far from her so I thought I'll just grab my coffee real quick. One minute... one stinkin' minute and the little killer was on her! Luckily I got to them in time and shoved him away. I let her grab my finger with her feet and put her in the firebush.

Here she is and a half hour later she was fine... moving about and drying off.

After all that drama, I decided to staple my egret to canvas stretchers. I'll have to make a frame for this as it's an odd shape. I do not like stretching canvas. Not my thing at all.



We did collages in Messy Art today. This was by far the best!
