Creating handmade items
I encourage those creating handmade sewing projects from my fabric to sell on the web, craft shows and the like. I love handmade items. However, if you are a person planning to mass produce products using my designs (whether fabrics or incorporating any of my other artwork or products) that would require a license from me. Please contact me direct. Thanks, Sue Zipkin

The visitors

The other day I was visited by some beautiful monarch butterflies, at one point I counted seven butterflies on my white butterfly bush. Every so often I am visited by a beautiful hummingbird. This hummingbird never lets me photograph it, by the time I get out my camera he is already gone. The butterflies however have been extremely cooperative, thank you butterflies.

Broken Wings

This little fellow brought a tear to my eye as he fluttered about slowly. It almost seemed like he was posing . Like he knew he was not the perfect specimen that most of us seek to shoot . There was beauty even though he was not perfect he was a gift. Thank you Mr. Butterfly!

Praying mantis and a beautiful butterfly

What is it about these wondrous creatures that when I see them I feel like I've entered into another dimension. Could it be that they look like aliens? At the end of last summer I had an encounter. I was able to grab my camera and take some pictures. At that time I did not have a blog so I decided to feature him today. A recall as a little girl I wasn't exactly thrilled by the sight of certain little insects yet when I saw one of these guys I could just watch them and be swept away. If anyone would like to share about their Praying mantis stories I'd love to hear them. That same day I also met up with a beautiful Monarch butterfly who was posing for me on my very favorite butterfly bush. One day perhaps I might choose one of these insects to use as inspiration for my artwork.... ( depending on my mood that day)...HMMMMM
