(Definitely Not-So-Daily) Sketch

Today, I worked up a very brief butterfly sketch... which showed me that I have a lot of work ahead of me, if I'm going to be able to turn these guys into fantasy butterflies. So, here's a start:

So, one of the hazards of an Australian summer is that the critters that normally keep to themselves, sometimes find us a useful resource for survival. This little gal, for instance, was on a piece of washing, until I noticed her, and then put the piece of washing back on the line until she crawled back home... on the washing line.

I guess I'll just have to keep an eye out for her when I bring the next load of washing in. It's summer, and the washing provides shade, as well as shelter from the birds.
