  7. For those of us who haven't worked with such materials, how are "paper clay butterflies" adhered to the canvas? Thanks.

    1. I used Glossy accents, but think any strong multipurpose glue would work

  10. I am wondering how the Paper Clay Butterflies are made, if possible, or given a link to that if available. Thanks! I want to do something similar, never done a piece in this manner and I think it is really cool! Thanks again for any advice. :)
