As a way of making up for my recent neglect of her, I took my sweet little Lepidoptera to Kaleidoscope…
… which is a sanctuary for beautiful Monarch butterflies…
… and an educational resource…
… Flutter was delighted, she kept whispering ‘sisters…’, she knows they can’t hear her, I think she was just marvelling at so many similar, beautiful, fluttering creatures in one place…
… we ambled through the tidy walkways…
… everywhere the glory of these amazing creatures, the soft rustle of thousands of tiny wings…
… there is a cave behind this waterfall for you to explore…
… at the foot of the waterfall are happy critters…
I decided to explore the concept of clothing made of spun glass…
… Mj gave me many gorgeous results. I combined them with some of my previous images with leather/latex-like fabrics…
… and I started getting images like this! Mj was continuing the ‘spun’ theme, but they were more ‘extruded’, than ‘spun’, and they had become very organic-looking…
… they were beautiful!…
… wonderful, exotic clothing that looked like you could make on the 3D printer in your spare room…
… by this stage, Mj had also begun making all the backgrounds look organic/extruded…
