Life Imitates Doodles 
Wow….those colors and patterns and that hint of transformation showing the caterpillar body! LOVE. When I see design like this, I immediately think of textiles. I want a pillow just like this! 🙂 My neighbor who travels to her birthplace in Okinawa, Japan frequently, bring back these large (up to 3″+) brown crysalis bags she finds lying in the woods from their large moths. She hand stitches tiny zippers in them for a purse. It is a wonder! They are quite sturdy and flexible.
Thank you, Judy! Wow! Those purses sound incredible. What a wonderful idea!
wow! I love this one! kind of abstract and kind of not. awesome!
Thank you, Alice! This finishes up the front of the book.
