rather in awe of this delicate and intricate work
broken butterflies
repaired with embroidery thread,
golden root, even gold leaf and paper.
i can't even begin to imagine working with something so fragile.
the results are mesmerizing.

ReplyDeleteedited: ""Landkaart". The wings are partly made from maps where the butterfly originated" WHAT?????
ReplyDeleteoh! I especially am drawn to the first one with the veins made of wire. As an avid painter of butterflies, I am captivated by these shadow boxes! I am headed to the broken butterflies website now...thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI just realized that the second butterfly is a tree nymph- I just painted it!
