I'm no longer creating any dragonflies or butterflies.

I appreciate all of your past orders, thank you!

Please visit my new online shop featuring my mosaic art.

It's spring time and I've been adding a few table leg butterflies and dragonflies 

to my Etsy shop, they make great Mother's Day gifts! ;)

First up is this butterfly made from a vintage print. 

When I was taking picture frames apart to use for my Picture Molding Christmas Trees, 

this print was in one of them and I just couldn't throw it away.

I decided to decoupage parts of the image to my butterfly wings.

I left the edges rough and added painted gold swirls.

The print had some creases and imperfections but I think

that only adds more character to this piece.

I used General Finishes Milk Paint in Red Pepper for the body.

Gosh I love that paint. It goes on so smooth and distresses beautifully.

I cut and bent an embossed serving fork for the antenna

and added glass bead eyes...

Along with more huge glass beads and metal pieces at the tail.

I love how she turned out!

Since it's decoupaged, it's indoor use only on this butterfly.

I created a few more of the pink and fleur de lis designs.

This design is definitely one of my most popular.

I used glass bead eyes and beaded antenna, aka... shower curtain hooks.

She's already sold.

I also made two dragonflies in the same design...

This pink dragonfly has a loooong swirled spindle body with

a wooden finial at the tail

Another pink fleur de lis design...

It has a bird design ceramic knob at the tail...

It also has a seashell button and embossed metal antenna.

This pair was a custom order...

She wanted one bright and colorful...

I painted a striped background with a big pink flower

and swirling vines and leaves.

fun seashell and glass bead eyes with swirly antenna...

I added a ceramic knob at the tail and white upholstery tack

"polka dots" on the body

The other one had a layered paint finish on the wings...

Corrugated metal eyes and a vintage sliding lock.

I also made this zebra dragonfly with a distressed turquoise body

I added embossed metal on the body. I found a roll of it 

at Hobby Lobby 

Another embossed metal strip at the bottom
