\"limanska<\/a>Apparently I am not the only one who likes moths! The first post this week knocked the meter off the scale and was shared, liked and viewed thousands of times. We also got our answer as to who the artist was–Darya Telegina of\u00a0Balambeshka<\/a>\u00a0on www.vk.com. I’ve added it to the post which you can see here<\/a>. (Thank you to\u00a0Sherrie Brittig,\u00a0Conny Brockstedt, and Natalya Aleksandrova for figuring it out and sending the links!)<\/p>\n

So how about a few more\u00a0moths this week? This beautiful fluttering thing is the creation of\u00a0Iryna Limanska<\/a>\u00a0who makes all kinds of flora and fauna inspired wearable pieces.<\/p>\n

The attraction here is partly the delicate colors but mostly the rippling edges of the moth wings which gives it a lively and energetic look. Those ripples are a bit of artistic license, however, as the moth she refers to in the listing–the Actias Luna moth–doesn’t ripple like this or have colored edging.\u00a0I don’t think there are any moths with this kind of rippled edge to its wings, none I could find. But as artists, this is exactly what I think we should be doing–creating something not seen before.<\/p>\n

Not that it is\u00a0inartistic to\u00a0recreate nature in exact\u00a0detail but since we can alter what nature has already shown us, why would we not? This is where self-expression has a chance to come out in quiet but insistent ways. It is an opportunity to show others how we interpret what we see or how we’d like to see it.<\/p>\n

Irvna does a lot of this altering nature in small ways in her work. Check out the\u00a0flower petal skirts on her ballerina silhouettes and her succulent boutonnieres, all listed in her Etsy sho<\/a>p.<\/p>\n
