illustration friday (dusty)


This week's IF topic made me think of the "dust" from a butterfly wing, and then I found a poem by Robert Frost called My Butterfly that I'd never heard of before. It's actually just a little bit sad, but I loved the part I quoted on this etegami. I looked at lots of butterfly photos and found one that looked like it was patterned with little hearts. Really! Except that they were black, not red.

    Thank you all for your comments. Robert Frost fans might want to type in "Robert Frost" in the Search Box in the right column of this blog to see a few more posts of my etegami that quote from his poetry. I have lots more I never got around to posting. Frost is perfect for etegami!
