The butterfly shapes were cut from old watercolours, the canvas boards had collage & ribbon on them, then repainted with a fairly dry brush, & rusty nail & old wire to make the butterfly bodies.
Mixing Faux Rust technique ( find this technique at
thicketworks ) with real rusty nail & wire to make the butterflies, then attached to repainted canvas boards.
