How beautiful..luna moth?

Thank you, yes it is. It's for a baby blanket which should have been done 3 months ago.

These are a few of my original designs. Some from photographs, others from my mind. All are simply squares or triangles - all straight lines. It's fun for me to try and work with the squares - I call those Pixel Quilts....viewed from a distance.

Interesting side note..luna moths are born without mouths. They don't eat and there sole purpose is to breed. They can stay in one place for 24 hours in the breeding position. They are so beautiful. Beautiful embroidery.

If I don’t finish it before the contest is over- here’s my entry. It’s my crocheted dragon named Kalmar. (from the Winfeather Saga ) He’s taken so long to finish and I thought I’d never find the right color of orange to finish the wings- but I got the right color yesterday! Yay!

Huh. That's interesting. I've always wanted a mounted one, but they're more than I want to pay for a dead bug.

Oh my gosh! So cute!

Once upon a time..I saw them more often here. I live in the mountains. I think their cocoons are susceptible to something that kills it. I think it's a bug or fungus or something that kills the cocoon so less of them make it to the adult stage. I read it somewhere..that probably why they're expensive. They would look lovely on a wall
