Here are just two of the many butterflies that I saw at the Woodland Park Zoo. I really want to try to recreat them in polymer clay canes. I know that I will have to practice a lot and will end up with many new beads and such.
This little guy was actually outside of the displays in a tropic setting. I hope that he does not get to far and wonders outside in to the cool Northwest weather. I find him interesting and may even make a cane using him as a starting point.
Here is the picture frame that I made as an 50th anniversary gift for my parents. The picture is a poor copy of their wedding picture. I put it in the frame just to hold the place. My Dad, who is a professional photographer, made a better print to go in the frame.
I am thinking of doing another frame for the pictures that we took at their anniversery party. My Dad wore a suit and my Mom got into the wedding dress, fifty years and three daughters later!
