Imagining the Baby Jesus spitting up on Mary's mantle but the spit up makes the shape of stars.

A while ago, we had a huge lovely mantis take up residence in one of our back bushes, and I jokingly started referring to her as 'Our Blessed Lady'. Long story short, I couldn't HELP myself doing a bit of a religious iconography piece with her, but in a bit of an Art Nouveau style, since it's so damn fun to work on.

I'm just SO pleased with how she turned out. Hopefully she's left me a lovely ootheca so I can meet and enjoy her children in my garden next year!

To begin and end well, devotion to our Blessed Lady, the Mother of God, is nothing less than indispensable.
