ILIA UNDERWING MOTH

Meet Livia, the latest addition to my Etsy shop, Gillyflower Cottage. 

Livia is loosely based on the Ilia Underwing moth.  She was lovingly and painstakingly made in Texas while I was visiting a friend and now she's made it all the home to Wisconsin.  Livia looks great posed on old text, an ornate old book, in an open frame, or on the wall all by herself.  The larvae of this moth feeds on oak trees so placement or display with acorns and oak leaves would make her very happy.  She is one of a kind and made of medium weight fabric, faux fur, and wire.    The furry abdomen gives her a very realistic look.   

 

Upon purchase, your moth will arrive wrapped carefully in 

tissue paper and ready to inhabit your home!

You can find her here!

A NEW PROJECT IN THE WINGS

First of all, I'm back to the blogger platform for my blog posts.  While there were a lot of aspects of WIX that I liked, it's just not as user friendly as Blogger.  So this is where you'll find me in the future.

Sometimes you need a certain kind of day to feel inspired for a certain kind of project and today is the day to do a little experimenting with these interesting fabrics.  Each one has been chosen for a specific reason and I'm anxious to get started.  I hope you'll follow along . . .
