Mixed media picture of butterfly - gift for gardener or nature lover

This pretty, mixed media artwork is the first in a series of three. It would make a lovely handmade gift for a nature lover, or treat yourself and add a pop of colour to your home. Capturing a moment on a summers day when a butterfly lands on a flower to feed 'A sip of nectar No.1' has been created with fabrics, papers, seed beads and embroidery threads. The background has been made using a wet collage technique, combining layers of fabrics and papers in warm summery colours. Some of the fabrics have been tinted with acrylic paints and inks. The butterfly has been made with decoupage paper which I've painted with inks and pastels. I've only attached the top of the echinacea petals so that they hang free which gives them a naturalistic appearance. I've fussy-cut and painted a couple of small flowers and sewn them with metallic embroidery threads which, along with a scattering of seed beads, adds a lovely bit of sparkle. I've made a matching tag in case you're sending it as a gift. The artwork comes in a white mount with aperture size 3.75 inches square and is in a good quality Nicola Spring 3D box frame which is 8 x 8 inches with a strut support on the back.
