This is one of the things I focus on lately. I am so exited and can't wait for this cocoon with chinese praying mantises to hatch. Hopefully it will happen tomorrow night or Thursday and during the day so that I can watch.

This weekend i have enjoyed myself doing both very abstract work in beeswax and trying out ink works with the subject insects and Praying mantis. I hope you nejoy the avriation as much as I did.

I promised you yesterday that I would show some of the results. Today I took lots and lots of snapshots of a real bamboo plant when Hanne (my daughter) and I went out to eat at a chinese restaurant today after her exam. I am no too happy with those leaves so I guess I will practice practice and practice doing them untill I am fairly satisfied.
