Hello Friends, How is your week going? Ack more hurricanes!! Praying for you all that might be affected.
All I had time was to color part of this fly but, enjoyed the process and was able to take a deep breath and relax.
This postcard is from this book and the paper is coated so you really can’t blend at all. So it’s all about dots, lines and the nooks and crannies! Not to mention dots on dots (the eyes)
See you tomorrow and have a great day. Thanks for your visit. Hugs, Kathy

The dots are BEAUTIFUL, KATHY! This would make an interesting video…. Sometimes, when I do stippling, it all seems to smoosh together. I LOVE DEPTH on the wings & the colorful eyes! 😉
Conil says
Dots work so well on this image. I mean, it’s a fly and the have all those eye cones. But the wing is simply extraordinary. What an amazing job you’re doing on it.
Barb macaskill says
I never thought I would be saying that I love a fly but I really love yours! The wing is gorgeous with the blue glitter (?) or dots! TFS!
Teresa Doyle says
What a great idea Kathy. That would be relaxing to do. TFS!

Hi Kathy, I came across your lovely fairy you did in digi from the Greeting Farm! She was lovely. I tried the link but not found. I have never tried digi but I fell in love with her! Great detail on her…. and I love the dots and buttons! Don’t stop! I could not find the comment area either on that page! I love your artistic flair!
Gail Plaskiewicz says
I have to say you’re coloring is amazing but I don’t like the fly at all. Sorry but flies and I don’t get along at all. This summer we had flies in our house! I don’t mean 1 or 2 because we left the door open to long but at least 7 or 8 in one day! I’m not sure where they all came from but there were 3 in the window of our dining room and one in the window of our living room! We had to keep them closed and the flies lived in their for about 3 or 4 days and then they died. One window was open so how they came in from an open window with a screen with no holes is a mystery. The next day we had 2 or 3 more even with the closed window! I felt like I spent 3 or 4 days just killing flies, especially the first day. So as you can see, flies aren’t my favorite things to see. You’re coloring is my favorite thing to see though.
