I like how you chose to portray the microscopic view of the Monarch's first "home", the milkweed leaf. You have artistically portrayed and elegantly expressed the life of these tiny creatures.Renatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703909499714319583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817194946265838621.post-83635284783920524792014-03-16T21:02:22.395-07:002014-03-16T21:02:22.395-07:00I like your approach to our challenge.

Your comments remind me of recent news articles this past year of the declining monarch population and of Barbara Kingsolver's book, Flight Behavior, which also explores this theme. Your color scheme does such a good job of portraying your idea.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03555603872823681712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817194946265838621.post-76016040073376494282014-03-16T18:20:41.171-07:002014-03-16T18:20:41.171-07:00I love this, gina and it is so you. you know how ...I love this, gina and it is so you. you know how I love leaves and butterflies, so this is just the thing for me.

I love how you used the colour and pattern of the caterpillars to form your border. The leaf is wonderful - simplistic but totally identifiable, and the gold thread on the egg adds just the right touch. A wonderful tribute to the beautiful Monarch, and a reminder to us all to remember to protect the world around us.What Comes Next?https://www.blogger.com/profile/17290766425199467892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817194946265838621.post-29093182350416589472014-03-16T13:56:31.531-07:002014-03-16T13:56:31.531-07:00This not only appeals to my minimalist side, my &...This not only appeals to my minimalist side, my 'tree hugger' side loves it too!
