(1) Butterfly Donations

July 20, 2011

Some of the mosaic butterflies have started arriving!

For ease of installation, the designs were all created on mosaic mesh. The tesserae is glued directly onto the mesh and then the completed mosaic is sandwiched between cardboard and shipped to me.

Here are some of the first to arrive..(the first one is mine.)

I created the alligator/butterfly combo in honor of my teenage son who volunteers at the Calusa Nature Center.

Artist Doreen Bell donated this iridescent purple butterfly made with stained glass, millefiori and an assortment of beads, rhinestones and glass shapes. (She loved creating this butterfly so much that she made four more that she will make garden gazing balls with.)
