Fun. :) (Bamboo yarn, was running a bit low on black and thought I'd order some other colors while I was at it.) I'm working on setting up my first warp on my Weavebird, I'll post pictures when it's ready to go - hoping to get over to the studio tonight for a little while.The kids have been outside practically all day lately... We found a neat moth yesterday...
The photo is kind of blurry. Isn't it beautiful, though? Love the false eyes on its wings and its gorgeously fuzzy antennae. (And, serendipitously, Bella got her first issue of National Geographic for kids yesterday and we learned that some butterflies have ears on their wings. And that camels can drink 500 cups of water in ten minutes. Who knew!)
The moth was bigger across than my palm - and, unfortunately, dead as a doornail. Anybody know what kind of moth it is?
Bella took this photo of Little Man and me - she's getting quite good with the camera!

Hi there,
I just looked up your moth on Goggle images and it says it's a Polyphemus Silkmoth. You can look it up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antheraea_polyphemus
What a great find!
Ha! A Silkmoth! How great! Thanks so much, Lynnette!
Just read the Wiki article (love Wiki) and ours must have been a boy, he has/had very plumy attenae, neat.
Ooooh! Fun moth!!! And go Miss Bella with the camera!!! ;) I can't wait to see your first Weavebird project!!!;)
