Caterpillar Update ~ Day Eight

Hi everyone 

I thought I would do a wee post showing you the latest photo of our second batch of Painted Lady caterpillars.

An amazing difference from Day One wouldn't you agree ;)

I also wanted to share with you, this link that I came across. 

It shows some incredible caterpillars that can be found in China's Yunnan Province. 

It is an immense region of mountains and rainforests and is known for being one of the most biologically diverse regions on Earth.

I hope you enjoyed looking as much as Wee Man and I did.

Wishing you all a happy weekend.

Bye For Now

Take Care {{Hugs}} Mo :o)) xx

PS - the header card was a gift to Wee Man from Maureen Riley -  a friend we made doing ICAD last year :D

Index Card A Day - aka - ICAD

It's that time of year again - well June 1st it will be - when we all get our index cards out; be they 3x5inches or 6x4 inches in size, out they come.

Go to Daisy Yellow to find the FAQs, very important info, and such like.

Here is a reminder of what Wee Man created last year - all 50 of them.

He is looking forward to trying to do 61 this year; from June 1st to July 31st.

Here is my title card for this year

done using Sakura Gel pens.

I hope you will join in the fun. You'll be glad you did.

Take care, be happy

{{Hugs}} Mo :o)) x

PS - here are the newest caterpillars on Day 6

Aren't they doing well?!

Anti Journal Pages and a Little Flutter

Hello there :D 

You are there aren't you?

I missed last weeks post - in fact I missed most of last week full stop! I was plagued by migraines, having two a day on some days. Very bizarre, and very annoying. They take over everything. Every action, every thought.

But, this week is clear! Huzzah!! 

Now, onto business.

I have several of my Anti Journal pages I could share with you and have had a time of it trying to decide which to share today, *scratches chin thoughtfully*

In the end I decided to go with the two pages that are my most recent favourites.

The prompt for the first page was,
Bleed colours; place under a dripping tap
But seeing as there was a sudden heavy downpour yesterday whilst I was flicking through my journal I quickly cut out this page, splodged some acrylic paints on it and shoved it out onto the back door step

And this was the result;

tho' not the punched out shapes, you realise, lol :-D
The paint hadn't moved around as much as I'd hoped considering the rain was quite heavy, but it's ok.

I set the page to dry over night and then used a black marker to go back over the outline of the tap and the wording.
You may, (or may not), be wondering why I have some holes in the page.
Well, check out the second page I'm sharing, which just happens to be the reverse of this page.

Design by removing parts of this page

I used a large butterfly punch and then outlined them with oil pastels, smudging them a little with my fingers.

I hope you like my Anti Journal pages for this week and have time to visit Carolyn and Karen to see what they have been doing in their Wreck it journals.

Now, for those of you who have been following my caterpillar adoptions *grin* I apologise for the late posting of the release photos - I hope my 'sick note' above will absolve me.
Here are the pictures I managed to take - it was quite difficult doing it one-handed; Wee Man's only concession to being so close was to hold the flap open for me, lol

They flew away so quickly I only got a glimpse and no footage. Wee Man was amazed. Not enough to want to touch them, but quite happy for them to go.

Also,

you may be interested to know that I got some more a few days ago and they are doing very well and growing just as rapidly as the first 'brood' :-D

Now, I shall love you and leave you and thank you for your visit.

Do take care won't you, and be happy

{{Hugs}} Mo :o)) x
