my current obsession with nature in my library is not yet exhausted, and I wanted to do something else with butterflies. I love those old framed butterfly collections, but I don’t own one and I’m not planning on taking up Lepidoptery any time soon, so it was time to fake it once more!
I have had this partitioned box frame for a while. All it needed was a coat of paint.
Then I set about creating the butterflies!
Most of them I drew and painted by hand, but I also printed a couple of pictures off the Internet and cut them out, just to mix it up a little.
Once they were all cut out, it was time to glue them to the background paper. I folded the wings up a little, and just glued the bodies to the paper.
Then I put it into the frame and hung it on the library wall.
I love how these turned out, they look great hanging on the library wall!!!
This looks so cool, and no butterflies were harmed in the making of this collection. Win!
Thanks Nancy! I much prefer the real butterflies out there still flying around
amazing …. 🙂
Thank you 🙂
