Inspiration:

I was inspired to create something beautiful for this great cause. My plan was to incorporate my love of nature photography. I cut out hundreds of butterflies from photos and made a template to try out different designs. After creating several looks, I finally found “the one.” I temporarily attached the photos with masking tape to make sure the design would work with the size and contours of the wings, then permanently attached them. In this way, my “Butterfly of Butterflies” came to life. This was truly a labor of love for the children.
