First of all I created a watercolour and ink butterfly for the wedding invites and realised I had spent too long on it to paint it another 30 times, so I got rows of them printed out on a couple of sheets and once I'd finished the wedding invites I didn't stop there! I made some card toppers, an unframed sort of collage, and a 3D collage in a really cool deep box frame!
I have even put all of these on Ebay to sell for around £3.00 - £5.00 (see links below).

The butterfly artwork escapade has also led me into the realms of abstract and surreal art due to so much experimentation, which is fantastic for me as I usually confine myself to the limits of realism - landscapes and wildlife and such. I love working like this but I have found abstract art far more liberating and challenging all at once. To imagine and create something so brand new and impossible... Anyway, this new painting is a work in progress to check back in a few weeks to see the finished result!
