More Butterflies

Hi Everyone,

I have made more butterflies, I made the frames a couple of weeks ago but became ill so was only able to paint them recently.


I made my 'Raspberry Beret' Butterfly, everytime I look at it I hear the song


I made another butterfly called 'Beauty Flies', inspired by the lovely Jackie Scott who suggested the title.


There are more on their way very soon

Making more butterflies in the freezing cold weather

It is so cold outside right now and I have been safely tucked up indoors making butterflies. I have made a collection of Peacock butterflies, a British favourite.


As I write this it is just beginning to snow, we are predicted a heavy snowfall tonight.


I have lots of other's that I have made but not painted yet, usually I leave my butterflies to dry by hanging them from the handles of windows but it is far too cold to do this so they have been drying in front of the fire.

I wanted to talk more about my views on conservation of butterflies and the collection of butterflies. I am aware loss of habitat is the reason why butterflies numbers are decreasing and there are many people who are working very hard to maintain habitats and have captive breeding for rare species. As a citizen of the 21st century I have to agree that captive breeding is necessary for rare many species as the alternative to this is extinction. I believe that collecting butterflies is an issue which is extremely complex which incorporates many factors for collectors all around the world.
