exchange ... to and fro

February is nearly gone.

(though it's a very special February this year :

with one (leap) day extra !)

It certainly is time
to send my felted piece for this month's exchange !!!

For the exchange

I received a wonderful package two days ago.

It was wrapped up like a real gift

Something like that can only contain

a true treasure ...

... and there it was : a new jewel !

Thanks very much Jolanda : love it !

The piece I had to make this time

has the theme 

  nocturnal  animal  

The plan I had for this one, was on little sketches

right after I made the "Baba Yaga house" piece in January,

but then my "Challenge House" took over

And then,

when I was working on the water soluble making butterfly wings,

an new idea emerged for the nocturnal animal theme !

a  moth

(a butterfly of the night)

It took some time

but today at last, my moth was ready to fly !

Here it is slowly growing ...

and there she goes

... to the light !

(and she's in the mail)
