The Contemporary Art Society has an exhibition on Herring Island and I'm thinking I might put something in, tossing up between books and 2 D work. Closing date is early Feb so I've got a few days to think about it. I haven't really gone back to work yet since hubby is home, next week he'll be back at work and I had better be too.
The pictures are of a butterfly that got it's feeler stuck in one of the flowers of the kapok vine in our backyard. I raced to get the camera then freed the butterfly by tearing the flower apart. We don't usually get such beautiful butterflies in our year. We have a bumper crop of flowers on the Kapok vine this year, I guess that's what attracted the butterfly but the sap is so sticky, must have stuck the feeler. Last year I cut all the pods off intending to make paper from them, I put them in a box in my shed and left them. The box was full to the top when I left it and now it's almost empty, I imagine I'll get lots more pods this year and perhaps this time I'll get to turn them into paper.

Lovely photos of the butterfly Gail, and lucky butterfly that you noticed it was in trouble and came to the rescue. I've been reading many of your posts (for a couple of hours now actually) and I've found so much of interest and inspiration. When you first started blogging you said you wondered if anyone would read your posts - well I for one am a very grateful reader and I hope you realise what a valuable resource you are making here. Many thanks, Carol
Thanks Carol.
I've had a look at your blog too and I'm wondering if we may have met. Have you been to any of the conferences at Mackay? I would have liked to do Tim Mosley's class this year but have pretty well decided not to go.
