"Ever Seen Real Fireflies?"

Well, I have. This is what they look like:



I played around with drawing gum and water colours today and thus created the background for this tag.
So I had that enchanted forest... but no idea who should inhabit it... fairies? Too obvious!

I still had some steampunk stamps lying on the table (I am not too speedy when it comes to cleaning up after a crafting session ;)...and then the idea just hit me: fireflies (or glowworms as we call them) were the perfect fauna for this environment!

So here they are! Take a close look - they are very, very shy!








Hope you like them!

Hugs,
die amelie xx

    I have seen them, in Brasil, when I was a child! We used to catch them and put them in a bottle (with a hole in the lid) and had some light this way when we went to bed. We had no electricity back then! It was fun, and your tag is gorgeous!

    No, I can see you wouldn't go for JOFY (I was quite surprised how much I fell for them) - though I think there's probably more to be got from them (am experimenting), but not the texty Sara Neumann ones either? I didn't do a good job with them, but I think they're pretty cool!
