I created this project as a unique way to include loved ones in a special gift to present at Monica and Jason's baby shower. I e-mailed a .pdf butterfly template to each family member. They printed them out, wrote positive messages in their handwriting, scanned the butterflies back in, and e-mailed the new file to me. It was up to me to make the butterflies fly.
I used jewelry-making wire and pliers to attach the butterflies together.
Orlan studies how to wire a small butterfly. At one point he jumped on the table for a closer look.
I used decoupage medium to stabilize the wings and seal the messages.
I had the mobile temporarily attached under a ceiling fan. It was mesmerizing laying beneath it watching the butterflies dance.
