A sketchbook held up.to the right shows a pencil sketch of a Cecropia moth. Its held next to the start of an ink drawing on the left showing the same cecropia moth.
I know I said I was going to do a cecropia moth in oil pastel, I changed my mind after I did a couple pencil sketches. Un-finished, started working in India ink instead. Good progress though.

Hi, I’m Leslie Heim, the artist behind Copper Moth Studio. I create nature-inspired fiber sculptures and paintings, blending traditional art techniques with fiber art. Each piece is crafted with care and attention, making it truly one-of-a-kind — a journey stitched one fiber at a time.
