New Release at Aurora Wings

It’s almost the weekend! How about a little Aurora Wings inspiration? The Aurora Wings Showcase designers have a tremendous amount of inspiration for you today.

Our new release is called “Reverie.” Mitzi has described this image as “a moth emerging from her chrysalis stage.” Isn’t that a beautiful expression? I did a little research on the coloring and detail of moths. What I found is mind boggling. They are kin to butterflies (have been around longer than butterflies) and there are over 160,000 types of moths, some have not even been described yet.

After my research I decided that I wanted Reverie to be the “red moth.” I loved the way the red and black of the wings melded together (lots of black and red Copic flicking) and the body was red. I hope that I did Reverie justice in my mixed-media piece.

Copics used:

Body: R02, 14, 24;

Wings: R01, 14, 24, 46, and

W1, 3, 5, 7, 9;

Roses: R22, 24, 27, 29, 89, and

V20, 22, 25, 28 BV29, and

Y11, 15, 17, 28;

Filler Flowers: R02, Y17, V25;
