From my Lepidopterology series. This little butterfly measures 6 x 9.2 inches and she is a collage on an old book cover. I created the dress from images cut from Vogue magazine and Demorest's Monthly (year 1872).
it is definitely butterfly weather here in Berkeley today....

Familiar Garden Butterflies
Butterflies of the Fields and Lanes
A delicate butterfly on a torn and faded book cover. I loved the leopard print in the dress.
(SOLD)
Colourful Butterflies
This collage is another one in the Lepidopterolgy series. It has been created on an old book cover, using images cut from Vogue magazine and English insect books (hence the spelling of Colourful). After 11 years of living in America, I have never got used to spelling 'colour' without the 'o' as in 'color'. So I was happy to use this English spelling version!
The First Butterfly To Be Seen
New pieces that I have listed in my Etsy shop. These lepidopterolgy collages have been created on old book covers. I rather like the aged look that the torn and faded paper gives to this piece.
