upside down and backwards

Here’s something you probably don’t know about me…..I can write backwards easily.
The kind of writing you need a mirror to decipher (unless, like me, you can also read backwards)
My friend Carol Leigh is conducting an online photo workshop at the moment and one of her
assignments is halves. Because I love making mirror images, I’m always looking for interesting
halves. What does that have to do with mirror writing? Nothing. Halves…mirrors…I digress alot 🙂

So here’s an example. This scar tissue on a saguaro reminded me of an upside down butterfly wing.

I followed my MIRRORED tutorial and then flipped the resulting image 180 degrees and voila….
A Goth Moth!

  1. Love the butterfly you created but I am still trippin’ on reading and writing backwards! You continue to amaze me. Come to think of it…. reading backwards has a lot to do with seeing an image backwards and upside down and, halved no less.

  2. Oh, YES! I love this. Definitely one of the benefits of being dyslexic, I believe. And “Goth Moth?” Great title. eton ot fles: kool rof erom rorrim seitilibissop . . . — Lorac Hgiel
