BUTTERFLY BY NIGHT Iris Folding OOAK Mixed Media ORIGINAL ACEO by harvestorm ZNE

Description

"Butterfly By Night" is an Original Mixed Media ACEO featuring a butterfly created with a technique called Iris Folding. It involves a lot of time, a lot of effort, and a whole lot of folding! :-)

I used scrapbook paper (three different patterns) comprised of various browns, pinks, red, and white, to create the Iris Folding design that forms the wings of this butterfly.

The body and antennae were made by creatively looping and knotting a couple of pieces of black wire.

The butterfly is surrounded by a piece of maroon colored acid-free cardstock that I embellished with a glittery pink gel pen which, due to its metallic properties, sparkles and shines in some lights and is more matte-looking in others (see various item photos).

I rubber stamped a crackle pattern around the butterfly using black archival pigment ink and then finished the piece by inking an outline around the butterfly wings and the outer edges of the card as well.

I have initialed this one-of-a-kind 2.5" x 3.5" work of art on the front, and have signed, titled and dated it on the back. It will be shipped to you in a clear plastic sleeve because, unfortunately, the wire body and antennae of the butterfly make it a bit too thick to be placed comfortably inside of a more durable clear plastic toploader.

Slip this card between the pages of a book or mount it in a frame. Use the card in scrapbooking or collect a bunch and display them in an album. Perhaps you would like to slip this tiny work of art into a friend's greeting card? Whatever you decide, your options are endless!

Note: Colors on screen may look lighter or darker than those of the actual card due to monitor settings. Metallic colors tend to shift depending on the light source, so it can be difficult to capture accurate tones.
