Is it a flower or a creature? Is it perhaps a intermediate being between flora and fauna? Is a spiritual being, a lotus flower bloomed out of deep meditation?

The flowers whose purple and translucid bowls
Stand ever mantling with aëreal dew,
The drink of spirits: and it circles round,
Like the soft waving wings of noonday dreams,
Inspiring calm and happy thoughts, like mine,
Now thou art thus restored. This cave is thine.
Arise! Appear!
[A Spirit rises in the likeness of a winged child]
This is my torch-bearer

What a beautiful and dynamic flower-creature! I like that it embodies a gentle AND a wild side.
I also dig the new purple blog, it's a great change--perhaps a sign of good things to come for you in the new year!
Love,
Katie
A gentle side and a wild side is all I have now.
Great things to come are the only things I'm interested into now.
It's a flowering creature! I also like your blog background. The color enhances your art.
I like the new background too of course! I think it's really cool that you made it purple! It's really pretty.
Now how do I translate your smile into a colour? This is a kind of question I ask myself quite often. What's the colour of something ethereal. I'm going into synaesthetic feelings.
Deb, it might be a creaturing flower, don't forget creaturing flowers.
