Fly Art! Time Flies!

by Katybeth Jensen on January 21, 2010

Fly Art! I saw these pictures and thought–WOW! Here is an Odd way to amuse yourself on a slow day.

Directions to for creating your own Fly Art creations:

  • Swat a few flies.
  • Let them dry for one hour.
  • Grab a pencil and let your imagination take off!

Oh sure you are thinking…I am spending way to much time talking to Joe and I really should get out more but while this is crossing your mind you are giggling right? And knowing you, I bet you are wondering where you can find flies in Chicago in the winter so you can create your own fly art! (Hint, Butera grocery store always has a nice supply). Gotta run…cause well, time flies!

So glad you were in my neighborhood. Feel free to drop by anytime. I would love to hear from you in the comment section of this blog or on Facebook or Twitter! Odd Loves Company and Odd loves you and you and you!

if anyone is interested is interested in producing Fly Art but would rather not collect the flies themselves– just go to my web site fliesrus.net (priced by the ounce, very reasonable) any time in the summer. Don’t worry you will get your monies worth because we are not a fly-by-night business.

Did YOU do those drawings? I’ll be disappointed if you say no.

Sorry to disappoint you Cynthia but alas I did not draw the pictures. I did come up with idea of creating some fly art of your own on a slow day. Sharing and offering is the extent of my creativity! And I did start to wonder—what would cock roach art look like?

Hi KB,

I almost went to get my fly swatter. This proves that art comes in many forms.

Thanks for the thought,
Jo

Robin

I just thought I’d fly by and remind you to wash your hands after you finish this project!

OK, I really did laugh! I guess the creative genius can’t be denied when in motion, no matter what the material. I’m going to give this serious thought this summer when I have to put a fly trap on the patio……

Hilarious! Thanks for passing along. Love your comment about Butera… so funny, so true.

That was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. Thanks for the giggles!!

Carter and I are laughing out loud – PLEASE resist the cockroach art. Flies, well eeww, but the cats catch them anyway, so perhaps we can put them to good use.

Eco-art–>recycling flies.

Exactly, Cynthia! Recycling and Art at its finest! Well, maybe not its finest but you know what I mean!
