Artistic Mother: week 5 butterfly reminder

the artistic mother butterfly reminder by Artfully CarinIt is so lovely being back in the studio after the summer break. The first project on my mind when I got back was the butterfly reminder from week 5 of the Artistic Mother by Shona Cole, even though I dragged my feet a little towards the end (until Trudy gave me some common sense, but still inspired advice). 

I loved this project and had looked forward to it since I started the book. I couldn’t wait to work with balsa wood again since it brought back many fun-filled memories of model making at Architectural Studies classes way back when (that’s a story for another day). I also loved the chance of working with beads and jewellery wire since that was completely new to me.

Don’t forget to go over to Trudy’s to see what the others in the Artistic Mother’s group are doing.
