Wow! This is stunning, and a definite fav. (Just popped over to your page after seeing your comment on Judith's about training at Homerton - have been linked to Homerton for a number of years now.)
@dolphin yes Molly, I was there in 1994 as a mature student. We moved overseas supposedly for a year, but it ended up being 7 years in the end just after I finished and then I started having babies and so didn't ever actually teach.
Oh my word, that's intriguing and beautiful rolled into one. The wings of course are amazing but I love the striped head and the movement in the tongue-type whatsit which I think is called a proboscis. Happy decorating Jan.
