Tree of Butterflies

 
This is my most recent art project I have completed. I carved out these butterflies and then I colored the butterflies with an ink roller. After the butterflies were inked I then placed the butterfly stamp onto the printing press and rolled it a couple of times. As you can see I individually cut out all the butterflies. I painted a green tree and then glued down all the butterflies creating a movement of butterflies left to  
right, top to bottom. There is obviously a repetition in the butterflies through out the tree. I tried to use a variation of colors while places the butterflies. I added glitter the the middle of some butterflies creating a dream like look. Over all this project was loads of fun!

  1. This is so unique and eye-catching! The contrast of all of the different colors of the butterflies against the white background and solid-colored tree make the butterflies pop out. I can see this up on a wall.
