Okay, so when Di showed me her new piece, I had one of those weird visual experiences you get with mirages. She was happily explaining her inspiration and the quilt patterns she adapted to make this fellow look like he was flying and I'm thinking"Hun? Martini glasses don't fly. And they're not quilty either!" Okay, sometimes I'm a bit off, but I do claim that I first saw this with the lights a bit low, so the wings and the background were less prominent than the body and the blue triangles, ...which looks like a swell drink to me.
It's a lovely butterfly. And the 2 triangles give the design a sophistication it would not have if the background were one color. I'm still hanging my head in embarrassment, though. Oh well, guess that means I have to get back to the board and design the last of the Baltimore Album series to redeem my reputation.
