Metamorphosis Mouse Pads from Zazzle.com

Views:Product Design

Oil Pastel and Acrylic on old wood with slight digital enhancements Ophelia, puzzled by the radical transformation that had taken place overnight to this butterfly friend of hers, thought to herself, "She was in a white thread-like casing yesterday, how did all that happen so fast? There must be something magical about that case!" This is inspired by a book "Hope For The Flowers":http://www.daleanderson.ca/hopefortheflowers.htm by Trina Paulus. This is a cute and yet thought provoking story about two caterpillars who because they mistake the meaning of their urge to get high, get entangled climbing a horrible "caterpillar pillar". And for two caterpillars, we all know, surrendering to the cocoon is the only way to finally fly. Hope For the Flowers is a book that celebrates HOPE. My fave lines from the book is "How does one become a butterfly?" She asked pensively. "You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar." We are all meant to be as beautiful and free like the butterflies, that's our destiny...as we free ourselves to be who we really are...and together with our innate talents,we bring hope to the world around us, bringing change inevitably around us :D
