March Madness

 

There is nothing like falling ill when you have a great project to work on.  I am finally on the rebound and this is where I am at on my B-E-A-utiful monarch butterfly.  I made a stencil out of some old thin poster paper...the design is mine.  Then I tried using some artist grade acrylics for the base coat but after 3 applications I still didn't have a saturated/opaque bas to work with.  So off to Lowe's I went.  I picked up 3 nice colors and although it still took a couple of coats for the base orange I'm almost ready for the next step (1 wing side to base coat). 


Next step gradated color on the wings, and designing the base of the stand.  Stay tuned...
