Yesterday I made a quick birthday card for a friend of mine. Her birthday was nearly a month ago but everybody was too busy to graduate so we postponed the gift. A friend of my boyfriend made a really cute knitted key chain of a pink squid. She makes all kinds of cute knitted animals! After we received the awesome squid we went to town to buy a little box to give it the gift-unwrapping-feeling. We left the store with a jelly jar instead. Just the right size to put in the squid, plus it can swim and see its surroundings. So once it was accustomed to its new home I made some photo’s (see image 02) and I started drawing the card in Photoshop. Roughly 1 to 2 hours of work I created the squid while the squid created my friend’s name in less than a second. Guess the right current was flowing at that moment… I had so much fun creating this! It was a pleasure to create such a fun image.

Butterflies
Yes! I don’t have to work for 2 weeks! And now I’m bored…. XD
Anyways during my short walk today I came across a summer lilac or a butterfly-bush to make it simple (I love wikipedia such an easy way to figure out English words). There were lots of butterflies and some were quit pretty. I haven’t seen butterflies in a long time. When I was young I used to see Small White’s everywhere (again wikipedia). Those small white butterflies are hard to find these days. But back to the present. One of the butterflies agreed to pose for me and smiled (as if XD ?!) If their wings weren’t pretty and so appealing I think a lot of people would think differently of a butterfly. Either way I do like butterflies and I think even moths are pretty. Though I don’t wish to see them when they grow 10 times bigger….
