She is Sweet Julie Dewdrop, she was caught in the morning mist with nothing to do but wait for the rising sun to dry and warm her wings. Then she can take flight.

She’s no stranger to water — she remembers her pre-transformed youth when she gloried in swimming the marsh waters that now spawn the mosquitoes that feed her.

It’s okay to wait. The sun is emerging from behind the low clouds even now, and she’s safe under the eave of your roof.

Red Tail!

The Sun is a cauldron of energy. He perpetually explodes in coronal masses and electromagnetic bursts.
Which in their turn tower and soar,
And then collapse back into the surface of Sol.
Only to do it again and again.
And again.

Empowered by Our Day Star,
The Earth in her turn does much the same.
Only her dynamo is Life.
Sunlight made form as flesh and bone and shimmering wing.
They tower and soar only to collapse into Gaia’s bosom,
Destined to spring forth again and again.
And again.

This is gaia with a small g.
In respect for her mother.
She longs for a home of her own.

Don’ wanna study migration no mo’. Colibri Casa Heck has found her permanent home at Jay and Sonja’s beautiful space. She’ll be just fine. She’s under a big eave and Jay tells me the tiny migratory versions love to perch by the dozens on his artistic wall accents.
She can feed on the sweetness of the atmosphere they have created.

Contact me if you would like to free an enchanting colibri of the migratory ball and chain.

Laka needed some fresh air and sunshine so I put her up on the Farmhouse. Besides, some of my first Spring Break guests are coming today and they just might fall in love with her.

Maybe 2024 is your year for transformation. Are you struggling to make the change? The butterfly struggles to emerge from her cocoon. She MUST struggle. If she didn’t have to squeeze through a tight rend in her cocoon, vital fluids would not be pressed into her wings making them instruments of flight. Let this monarch greet you daily and remind you of your transformation. Notice her wings virtually glow with the energy of freedom.

$250 plus $25 shipping in the U.S. Approximate 30 inch wingspan, she’s perfect tucked up under a gabled roof end, eave or porch She loves the great indoors as well.

This is Ryll, man of two worlds. He is a composite being, half earthling and half Dreenor native. He is here to steward the survival and flourishing of humans, but also to save his otherworldly species from man’s insanity. Talk about an impossible impasse.

Does he remind you of your nearly insurmountable undertaking? Together, you can achieve your aspirations.

With a diminutive 18 inch wingspan, he will fit almost anywhere and serve as a talisman to your seeming impossible dreams.

$125 plus $25 shipping in the U S. Comment here or message me if you’d like to get Ryll. He’s a wooden dragon … fly.

Thank you to Brian and Frank Herbert.

Rositita. Custom dragonfly for my dear friend Lynn Davidson. We go all the way back to Western State College of Colorado in Gunnison. Lynn, not the dragonfly.

Rositita has a diminutive wingspan of only 24”. Good things come in small packages.

Comment here or DM me if you’d like a compact dragonfly. I’d love to make one for you in your theme and color scheme.
