I cut this a while ago before my eyes went out of focus.
Just found it and asked my wife to add some color.
Photos are pretty bad but you can get the idea.
It's about 5" x 7".

Very cool, Pete! I like the butterfly being off-center; it's more dramatic!

 

[Berta]

Really cool!

 

[Oka]

Super cool !

Good work Pete. What did she use to paint them?

What did she use to paint them?

She used watercolor paint and I shot a coat of clear to seal it.

The reason I asked as I have been playing around with Rit dye powder mixed with DNA. The lights colors are almost identical.

@PeteM where did you get the pattern or did you create it yourself?
The scroll work is cool, but the colors bring it to a whole new level!

I drew a pattern for the 11 piece butterfly.
There was no pattern for the rest. Just made it up as I went along.
I gave the pieces to my wife and she did all the coloring.
Putting it together is a bit of a challenge.
