Luna Moths

Have you ever seen a luna moth?  They are quite rare to see because they only live for 24 hours and are only out at night.  Janet and I saw one at the train station early one morning when we were leaving for vacation several years ago.  We were both thrilled and thought it was a good omen for our vacation and it was.  We had a great time in Key West and even visited a butterfly house where I carried a butterfly on my shoulder for most of the visit.  I was told this is a lucky thing.  I guess people associate lots of luck with moths and butterflies.

I think they are beautiful and mysterious, rare and fascinating.  So I've commemorated them on this mug.

This is one of the pieces that I did with some embellishment and carving for relief.  I wrote about them here when I first made them.  You can read more about this mug in my Etsy Store.
