Of cabbage bugs and kings

A 365 day project of glorious bug making. Insects of all types, creepy crawlies, beautiful butterflies, melodious crickets. Doesn't matter what bug or what medium. Likely nothing will be a masterpiece (there's not time for that) nor even all that good. This is a no pressure, anything goes zone. The point is to invite creativity into my world, produce and put it out there. Happy making.

About Me

Reinette: I'm a mother of one with more free time than anyone should be allowed and more interests than should be listed. I reside somewhere between suburbia and down the rabbit hole, but call Colorado my home. My first and forever love will always be a pair of jeans. My favorite color is neutral. If I were a superhero I would be called IceFire and I'd have the power to instantly freeze anyone with the touch of my hands. My dream job is to be a companion to the Doctor (but only the David Tennant version). I believe in boots. Lastly should I ever find myself snowed in a cabin, my emergency kit would contain a fur throw, a worn copy of Jane Eyre, my hipstamatic, Tyler Florence, coffee with all the fixin's, the entire contents of the V&A museum, casks of wine and stacks of cheese & prosciutto.
