Butterflies & Moths - from the gorgeous 2011 Cavallini butterfly calendar - merci Shammy

Purpose. Creative purpose. 1 -2 -3

Three projects.
Three deadlines per week.
19 weeks (end of June my slightly arbitrary deadline)
19 x 3 = a whole lot

each week ...

1. complete 1 children's inspirational/typographic art piece
2. continue on and complete 1 painting in this vein, soon to become a series of paintings
3. complete at least 1 typographic collage, adding a touch of w & h* wherever possible

oh my ... I heart purpose.

*w & h - whimsy & humour

  2. Wow. As you know I didn't open the calendar up so I'm glad to see the beauty inside.

    1-2-3, easy peasy.

  4. The Cavallini calendars are sure hard to find...they seem sold out everywhere...any suggestions on where a good source for these might be? Most of the links listed have 1 or 2 available...but are pretty picked over....must need to buy these in 2010 but have no idea where to look for them.

    they don't seem to go on sale ever - but at 21.95 I think they already are an incredible deal - so beautiful !! I also scored the bird 2011 calendar as well - spoiled !!

  6. Yay Susan!I was thrilled when my order arrived from you today - how exciting to see something in my post box all the way from Nova Scotia! I love my "Carry your Heart" and "A tiny life with a Big Heart" and bookmark. Thank you so much!
    All the symmetrical patterning on the insect wings in this post are fascinating. An art exhibition by Tasmanian artist MegCowell I attended yesterday was based around mirror images, balance, connection and symmetry.
    The notes on her work read "...her aesthetic approach is based on proportion and structure where she amalgamates mirrored parts that fit harmoniously into a seamless whole, like a butterfly with splendid wings radiating our from the central thorax".
    Then to visit here and see all the butterfly and moth images - just beautiful!
