Just a little something inspired by the never ending chaos that is the building site at the end of my garden
it will stop soon, or so I'm told...
a quote that kind of fits the bill right now
'There can be no defence like elaborate courtesy'
Edward Verrell Lucas
brown bag butterflies, I think I'm slowly becoming addicted
I sploshed a bit of colour on an old cigar box, the effect is a bit like a denim wash
ripped fabric, muslin and a lovely strip of rusty fabric from Halle
complete the look
I think this is going to be one of my favs!

Wow, Margaret! What a cool project! I love it a lot!

I think there is a lot to be said for courtesy...there is conjecture here in the states that civility has gone out the window...say it ain't so :)
your butterfly punch must be a good one...that's a lotta pretty butterflies!
Happy September dear one!

Lovely soft colours & I love the buttons at the bottom ! I can't get cigar boxes anywhere !
Margaret!
So glad you've found a bit of time to craft :-)
Both your butterfly projects are fabulous, love the way you've positioned the quote and your button stash on the bottom!
Happy return of school :-)
Maybe if you make enough butterflies they could carry away the builders like the birds carried off the peach in James and the Giant Peach?

I can't begin to imagine how I missed this lovely piece. Butterflies are flying in from every direction, and I really like the addition of the buttons, too. Glad I looked back to this post.
what a great idea!
Loving these repeat butterflies.
Loving what you're doing with butterflies. These brown paper ones are beautiful.
