This was a piece of art Larry. I can actually imagine seeing this in a hotel lobby, or maybe a beauty spa, or maybe in a cafe. The list goes on….

And personally I think it should’ve ribboned.

Nope. I paid the next door kid to do it!


just reading this and did literally laugh out loud ..
would pulling wings off dead cicadas come a close second to pulling teeth ..
as it would definitely not be as exciting .. no wonder you delegated that job to the kid next door .. ;)
also i'm quite surprised that Lydia could have for one moment thought you were that cruel boy .. ;)

Wow! So many wings. Do you collect them? (I have a small collection of deceased insects.) This forms a really lovely pattern.
