I’m currently involved in a fund-raising project by the local Rotary Club called: “Butterflies and Friends”. It will benefit the Colorado Springs Kennedy Center Imagination Celebration. For their turn they talk of “Metamorphosis”. Indeed “Metamorphosis” it is! - where I am concerned. I decided to not just decorate the 8’ tall wings they supplied us artist but to incorporate my love of Terracotta! I call it “Fairy Wings” and here are some pictures of the fairy in process. Not surprisingly, metamorphosing rigid given butterfly wings into a Fairy poses many challenges. Still so far – so good. Here are some photos of the origianl design and the terra-cotta fairy body in progress. It’s now drying and it should be ready for firing towards the end of June. In the meantime I’ll start on the wings
