blue butterfly

Deb, of the Paper Turtle blog, is collecting hand made butterflies to send to the Holocaust Museum in Houston, Texas, a part of their "Butterfly Project" to remember the children killed in the holocaust.  You can read more about it here.  I made this blue butterfly out of plaster, decorated with acrylic paint on top.  My favorite part is actually the underside.
After painting with acrylic paint, I collaged on vintage pictures of children and wrote "To honor and remember" around the edge.  This one feels much more like "me" and my style than the pink butterfly I made before.
But I really like the way the look together.  They'll be winging their way to Deb soon!
