Artist's Comments

The first glimpse of fireflies always heralds the beginning of summer in my mind, but in this day and age, the fireflies are mere memories, long gone from this plane, wiped out by circumstance, drought and destruction.

In my memory I can see them, dancing across the fields. I see my sister dancing with them, her face alight with their glow. A memory I never want to fade.

It is, perhaps, a poor reconstruction- the colours are wrong, and they don't seem to flicker like they do in memory- but let this homage be enough, so that children now may experience the joy of these creatures as I once did.

Thank you so much! Yes, that's the idea. It will stay lit as long as the mechanism works.

Hmm, that's pretty. I've never actually seen a firefly, so I suppose I don't know what I'm missing. ^^;

The goblins are going to EAT you.

Drink coffee - do stupid things faster and with more energy!

Awww, a shame that!

It's a really nifty nightlight, too!

Oh, wow, that is SO COOL.

I *have* seen fireflies before, but these are just as awesome, seriously. :heart:
