A butterfly has come out of its cocoon today! I started with a scrap page from my jumbo art journal. I had painted a bunch of butterfly die cuts and something else that left a random paint residue on my page. This unimpressive “caterpillar” led me to the “butterfly”.
At this stage I was starting to feel it was “precious” so I forced myself to add more color, more elements, and more paints. As I look at this all I feel is happy.
This close up shows how I released what was on my mind while I was creating. Writing it, no matter how messy, is always beneficial.
Here’s the video showing this caterpillar turning into a butterfly.

This looks like it was fun, it just looks happy! Valerie
Great video Carolyn thanks, I agree it’s great to watch other artists work. I’d love to know what the other 3,647 life lessons are 😉
Big love

very creative ~ wonderfully expressive with your delightful colors ~ thanks, ^_^
Amazing Carolyn. You used so many different mediums. I love the colors and the happy feeling I get when I look at this piece. Thank you for sharing the process.
Preeeeeetty!
I´ll answer your question about MIB3 here as you have set your blogger mail as “no-reply”. 🙂
It´s better than the first one in the visual aspect. Movie effects are way better now than they were back then. It´s not better in the argument aspect as there is no “surprise” factor in the base story of there being a mib organization. Worth watching? Yes! Specially if you like Smith in comedy. Paying extra for 3D? No. We went to the 2D version and enjoyed it. There are only a few scenes where the 3D can be applied and they are not “deal breaker” ones.
Love this video! It is great to watch you use all your supplies! (and I seem to have all the supplies you use too…so that helps…) Thanks for the inspiration!
It looks like you had a lot of fun creating the video and artwork… wish I could speed up my housework like that ;D
Bril!
