The time for Butterflies
Spring, that annual period of transformation. So, I thought it’s time to work with a symbol that marks ‘transformation’ like no other symbol does: the butterfly. We ALL need butterflies. To create ‘how to’s for my craft readers, I’ve collected and developed ideas and free craft tutorials, stencils, templates, plus other design tools~ of use for a range of crafts from embroideries to art journals.
Be inspired and create a magnificent transformation in your life, through art. Here are lots of ideas, but I’d like to see your projects as well! Surprise me!
