Dragonflies and butterflies...

Honestly, I think dragonflies and butterflies are overdone in artwork and jewelry. I'm thankful that at least *some* insects aren't totally abhorred by society, but sometimes I just ache for a bit of variety.

HOWEVER once in a while I come across some artwork that makes me forget all that.

mLee sells amazing woodblock prints on etsy, as well as other fun stuff like mixed media, ACEOs, mirrors, magnets, and pins. She also has a new shop, mLeeRedux, where she sells reproductions of her original prints.

I love this purple and black dragonfly piece... the colors work great together, and the dragonfly's wing shapes are just perfect.
And who doesn't love monarchs. The green and black combination here is so soothing, and the detail on the wings is fantastic.



I love the feeling of depth she creates with all the layers of prints. She has used the butterfly and dragonfly images in other prints as well. She has a beautiful variety of work, I highly suggest you pay her etsy shop a visit!
