Beauty can be vibrant and colorful, or it can be delicate and fragile in soft shades. Of course, since beauty is in the eye of the beholder it can be anywhere in anything if looked at with a different sensibility. It is with this in mind that I am looking anew at moths - the butterflies of the night. Much less flamboyant than their daytime counterparts, moths are seemingly more fragile and whimsical. As we head back to school and wander from summer into fall the flight of the moth will be seen throughout the continent. Moth are the butterflies for the gals who like things a little darker, a little more gothic and full of subdued elegance.

My butterfly combs having been brightening up my own hair dos all summer. It is a great joy to me to create them and to share them on Etsy. With my most recent batch I have been experimenting with staying within a certain color palette. I think the effect is quite pleasing.
