Butterflies to Welcome the New Year

In defining resolutions at the start of the new year, we are looking for ways to improve ourselves. Butterflies have often been seen as a symbol of transformation, so in the spirit of this time of rejuvenation and with my personal love of butterflies, I've created several to welcome in the new year.

This one is made with colored skeleton leaves.

This one is made from the petals of a velvet poinsettia.

Buttons and beads on acrylic. Once the glue dries,
I will cut the acrylic close to the buttons.
