Butterflies and Buttons

Hi

Today I am back with another project featuring butterflies to help my friend Mrs Beez raise awareness of the work of the charity Amy and Friends.  Amy and Friends supports children suffering from Cockayne Syndrome.  The butterfly is the symbol they use to represent those whose lives have been cut short by this illness.  Mrs Beez hopes to raise awareness of the disease and the work of Amy and Friends through her blog.  So please visit her blog and find out more about this important charity.

I have something a little different to share with you today, that is, something a little different for me.

I started with a large MDF 'D'.  I first gave it a coat of Gesso, followed by a coat of white acrylic paint.  Once the paint was dry I covered the surface with white buttons, as you can see.  Finally, I added some small Petaloo flowers and a Marianne Design swallowtail butterfly.
