Kym's Butterflies

Hi Everyone,
Round 1 has come to an end and I have got some photo's to share with my theme ~ "Butterflies"

I haven't yet created my postcard, so I will post it later in the month in the same post.

I received Jenelle's, Peta's & Rochelle's, all very different I'm pleased they have all come in one at a time so you can enjoy the excitement of getting mail from the group. Thank you ladies, I have already shared these with my family & friends and they're all eager to see the rest come in, especially me.


Rochelle's Butterfly.


This is lovely, Rochelle. Really takes you in, gives you a feeling of fairies & fantasy also :)

Jenelle's Butterfly.

I've posted this one earlier, the way Jenelle has the butterfly being painted from the pouring bottle. Very effective :) (Above)


Peta's Butterfly.

The photo doesn't do it justice because of the techniques Peta put into this piece. The butterfly is made up of pieces of leather/vinyl to make the shape of the butterfly. Then the other side is created to show butterfly stamps with the net.

Peta has since let me know that the butterfly is made up of pieces of canvas from a pre-loved painting & has been painted over by shellac. Great piece of work :) (Above & Below)

Very creative Peta :)


Kristin's Butterfly.

Received Kristin postcard, it's great to have them all together. Thank you Kristin.

The watercolour looks lovely with the 3 smaller butterflies at the bottom have been cut from creative paper and collaged on the postcard. Well Done :)


Tracey's Butterfly.

Thanks Tracey, I love the purple and the pinks. They all look great together.

    Kym, you have some beautiful work sent back to you. Rochelle's is absolutely beautiful, Junelle's is gorgeous & I love the way Peta makes something out of unexpected things. I think I like hers the best as I love earthy tones. Can't wait to see more, Olley.
