Description
Of course that's a made-up clan name, just like this is a made-up plaid. But that's the fun of art -- making things up! Taking a photo and pulling and twisting it, cropping it here, mirroring it there, and coming up with something totally different.
A while I saw a pair of moths mating on my back screen door. They were so preoccupied that when I opened the door to go outside and get a better look, they simply moved over to the handle of the grill and carried on as if nothing had happened. I took a bunch of photos, both from inside the door and from out on the deck once they were on the handle of the grill. I had to look them up online to find out what kind of moths they were, and I'm pretty sure they were Sphinx moths. I got several beautiful designs out of the photos that I took, including this beautiful plaid.
