Insect

So here is my picture for this fortnight's letter over at the Craft Barn's Alphabet Challenge - 
 I - Insect
One of those rare pictures that I didn't plan anything beforehand, apart from the idea I was going with  a butterfly.  It's nice just to go for it  - I don't know why I don't do that more often, seeing as with most kinds of mixed media art, there are always plenty of layers and so mistakes are usually easy to cover up!
Mainly used my Neo-colors here and stamped with a little, hexagon and circle Jofy stamp.

Challenges entered:

    That butterfly is beautiful. I was most impressed by the way you created the letters using dictionary words. This is an incredible mixed media entry.

    Rachel, I was sure I left you a comment about sewing on paper, but I can't find where I left it.

    I use an 80/11 needle. It has a very sharp point and lasts forever, or until I break it. I break the needle, usually by doing something silly just like when I'm sewing on fabric. BTW, the "experts" will tell you to change your needle after each project, but I have had the same needle in my machine for about four months, and it is still going strong.

    Lovely Mixed Media page! Yes overthinking a page doesn't produce the expected results! Sometimes accidents turn out better than what you had in mind...

    A fabulous page! Love your bright butterfly and the white doodling. Insect is a great word choice.
