Keyword: WCW077
Hostess: Angie Bode (ohmypaper!)
Challenge: Luna Moth

Hi! It's Watercolor Wednesday and this week I am challenging us to paint a Luna Moth! I love the holidays but I also love creating things for the opposite season! Maybe there is just a tiny bit of a rebel buried inside me and it likes to show up this way. I hope you enjoy painting a Luna Moth! Remember that it's always ok to start off with a stamped image like I did this week!

Please note: The artist uses a masking fluid but if you don't have any you really can do this project without it. I didn't use masking fluid on my moth.

I haven't watched yet due to a crazy morning but I did google Luna Moth - massive! 4 to 7 inch wing span and a white hairy body - not near me I hope!!!

Since I'm almost finished with Christmas cards, your challenge was a good respite, Angie. Thanks.

Angie, just wanted to say what a delightful video this is and how much I enjoyed watching (and listening!) to it. Water coloring, I am no good at, but I loved the video!

Interesting challenge, Angie, and one that made me work a WHOLE lot harder than the video artist - LOL - I don't know if we have these kind of moths in our area (I've never seen one) BUT They are quite majestic! Here's my try at this:

If you enjoyed painting the luna moth, you may also enjoy reading the book, Girl of the Limberlost, by Gene Stratton Porter. Luna moths are somewhat of a rarity here in Indiana, but every June we are honored to spot one. In real life, Gene Stratton Porter designed a dress fashioned after the moth. I just love spotting them and think many of you would enjoy this book as well.
