So my kiddies found a luna moth in the day time, which was wonderful. I got some pictures and got right to work. I love luna moths, not so much other moths. There is something about them... yeah something..... it's really not all that hard to figure out. They're huge, pale green, and simply incredible. I am unsure why I like these cropped images so much, but I do. They are actually whole moths. I did a bunch of drawings, 3 of which I was happy enough with to list on my etsy shop. I challenged myself a wee bit, using permanent ink and no pencil whatsoever, so any mistakes I made, I just had to find a way to live with them. It was fun.

those are so beautiful, emily. I love when you post your work here. both pics are so pretty, but I especially love the first drawing.
Also, I was looking at your shop and I really really really love your picture of the two owls on the tree branch. Awesome. When I get a job again, I'd like to buy it.
thanks, Jess - if, when you get a job again, it is gone, just let me know, and I'll make you a new one :)
Lovely!
I love luna moths. For whatever reason (I guess the bright lights), there is often a luna moth to be found at nighttime little league games. They always take me by surprise. And I love these drawings -- which is not surprising at all!
