Oh Renilde!!How beautiful.....i am in love and awe-struck by the butterfly parasol...this is one of my new favorites of yours..it is absolutely stunning!! wowness! This makes my soul sing!..and fly!
I love all the butterfly in this post...gorgeous..I feel full of magic now.. hugs..this was blissful! Victoria
And another one of your amazing art-in-the-box work! Love it in the first second I saw it...:-) The umbrella is so beautiful...Makes me wonder: where do you get your inspiration to all the people you drawing? (it is the HARDEST thing for me to draw Portrait...)
Dear Hagar, for my faces i usually use photos(brocante finds or new ones) and a mirror; a photo to get the shape and proportions right, a mirror to look at my own face with different expressions. I try to work out a face that relates to the rest of the painting and so in the end i'm painting an imaginary girl but to me she is very real in some way. Here i used the same photo as i did in an other drawing challenge: http://strokeofthebrush.blogspot.com/2011/10/drawing-challenge-bottles.html
your boxes are sooo beautiful! (I saw the fabulous last post, too!) and the butterfly umbrella is fantastic. I'll paint a butterfly on my cheek... have a nice sunday!
Lovely images Renilde - the boxes are like a delightful little theatre set, your butterfly umbrella makes me think how nice it would be to actually have an umbrella with butterflies on it - it would brighten up a rainy day.
Dear Renilde, as Patrice has said, I've liked already the first view on the outcuts of the butterflies. I've thought about a garland. The swarm of butterflies forming an umbrella... wow, a great idea! Fantastic painting, dear.
your shadow box is such a wonderful trick! i bet they flutter in there, do they? and butterfly shades! imagine the pattern, dappling sunshine filtering through... ha. summer. heat. and wings... n♥
ha, i'm in love with the second image and the beautiful! the result, the box is amazing, and of course i love that wonderful fluttering umbrella too. so very, adorable, you dear renilde! xx, julia
Renilde, I love these boxes you have been making lately! Your work always feels like I am watching a drama or a dance unfold, the same sort of magic one feels at the theater, being drawn into a strange new place with different rules and meanings - and these boxes add to that effect of a world contained within a small space! Lovely!
I am loving your shadowbox work of late! I have been in that frame of mind too but am far less productive in the studio than you! You inspire me to get a move on! Thank you! isn't it wonderful, all the shared ideas? You and Rachel with wings in your hair. :)
Your butterfly-box is adorable! I'm a huge fan of 3D paper arts and mobilés, already made some by myself. Also great idea to use a butterfly umbrella for sun protection in summer, I'll try to find butterflies that will do that job for me. ;-)

yes they do flutter , they hang on a very thin thread so the slightest breath makes them move.x
