I wish that I could draw. That is to saw, draw as well as I'd like to be able to.

Because for some time now I've had this astounding image of Itzpopalotl, the Aztec Obsidian Butterfly goddess in my mind.

She scares me.

But I wish I could draw her.

Thanks for the commentary....actually, the "cartoony" comment was in reference to an image that was in between the two here that seems to have been removed from the artist's site, that particular image had a look like it was inspired by a cross between anime and some popular "fairy" art.

Just curious...how did you come across this entry? I honestly forgot that I had ever written about my attempting to draw her (still working on it, getting nowhere with translating mental image to paper...)

I found your link by searching the internet. I'm always interested in discovering like-minded souls who have an interest in world mythology. As far as drawing Itzpapalotl, let your heart be your guide. Try an earthy substance first, like finger painting, and don't judge the outcome. See where your senses lead you.She will connect with you if your heart is passionate. :)

Best to you,
