    Oh my gracious - all these butterflies look like they just landed on the canvas and are about to fly off again Jools. What INCREDIBLE DIMENSION. I would love to be in the middle of this RICHLY COLORED FUN world. Xj.

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

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

    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. :)
