Haha. So, guess what? I changed my mind about the shadowbox butterflies, and they are now up for sale.
I still think they’re super cute, but they’re just not right for me. Hopefully someone (or many someones… there will be seven of these!) can give them a good home. I think they’d even make a great Mother’s Day gift. I’m going to try to make the rest of them (5 more) this weekend if I can find a little time.
If you’re interested, you can check them out at my shop (Pink Loves Brown).
I framed a couple of my faux butterflies today.
I think they’re cute, but I’m still not sure if I’m going to hang them. I guess I’m just not a butterfly person (and I have 8 of them)! I may just sell them in my shop if I don’t use them.
Hrmmm… What do you all think about this?
I was at Paper Source today, and I just happened to see those buterflies. So I thought: “Oh! I can frame them in little shadowboxes and hang them down the hallway!” I bought that textured yellow paper, and I can pick up some white shadowboxes pretty inexpensively.
I was planning to put them in the library/hallway/upstairs space, and I think they’d look good against the chocolate brown walls. I’ve never really been into taxidermy or butterflies, so it’s sort of strange to me that I thought to do this little art project. I still think I might just return the butterflies and do something else. We’ll see.
*edited to add: No need to worry, butterfly lovers. These are indeed fake butterflies!
I just bought the most wonderful prints from The Black Apple: ‘Little Dunces’. Note that these are not what the “sexxxy” title is referring to… that’s coming up. But first, here are the prints:
I’d like to put them above our nightstands or directly above the bed. Cute, no?
OK, now let me state right now that our bedroom will be a classy affair. We will be including the handscreened print from Rar Rar Press that Brandon bought for us at the Renegade Craft Fair. It looks a little something like this:
Yep. We also have a framed montage of women wrestling in bathing suits (hair pulling! leopard print!) and wrapping paper featuring Spanish erotica pulp covers. So now you see: sexxxy.
