    Default Weekly Theme: Twiga Moth

    I think I'm getting too carried away with the flips, but can't help myself! This was a double flip with the use of liquify to create the butterfly wings. I also used Topaz adjust simplify and mild details at various junctures along the way.

    This is very creative, Cindy. An exotic moth for sure! I like the colors and the effect of the liquify in creating those wings. Nicely processed.

    Cindy, I love the way you created the butterfly. Did it start as a giraffe? or am I crazy:eek:

    Thank you so much for your comments, Indranil, Denise and Cheryl. Yes, the original was the giraffe here, Cheryl. I've had the idea since I did an elephant moth creation with a flip last year, and I finally got the wings to work for this one.

    Cindy, that is awesome! Very creative thinking and pre-visualization. I find it very difficult sometimes to predict what the flip is going to look like. Nice work with the liquiflip! Love the colors with the blue background too. Nice work!

    Too, too cool. Looks like an antelope mask. And the two jaws on the bottom are wicked.
