Making cards for many occasions is a relaxing way to create with paper.
I also started playing with some lutrador, and while playing got an idea to make a butterfly. Cutting the veins on the wings was done really easily using a hot blade. And with this came an idea to do a study of butterflies. I have been searching for a focus for a group of works. So using different mediums over the next while it will be butterflies, beautiful butterflies
.
The background is made from a batik quilted to cotton backing. The flower is luscious rasberry batik that was cut into smaller pieces with a rotary wave blade, then hand stitched with beads to the background. The Monarch was cut from lutrador, painted then backed with a marbled batik. The whole piece was covered with a matt and gloss gel.
