I am sorry for my absence, but I had a bit of a melt down last week, and I have had a lot of other stuff on my plate. More about that later.

On to this month’s printing for Jane Davila whose theme was insects.

I was inspired by this photo I found on the internet when I was surfing for ideas. A hot pink dragonfly? Loved it.

I made a dragonfly thermofax screen and headed to the studio. I found the perfect hand-dyed green background fabric and an old leaf screen.

I printed the dragonflies in hot pink.

Jane had asked for a touch of black so I added a black head and little dots on the bodies of my dragonflies.

Here is the collection so far:
