enter darling daughter: shriek! Mummy you've cut it, shriek! Mummy you've cut up your art! shriek! oh dear, was I not meant to do that? but... you know those projects you begin that go no further? well this was one of them. I started this map canvas ages ago with the intention of scattering the butterflies across a textured background, and then it all ground to a halt. I lost half the unstuck butterflies and it got buried under a pile of stuff!
I figured the canvas would make a nice cover for something or perhaps an ATC or two which is what I ended up doing with it. I cut them out long enough to fold and sew placing a couple of butterflies on the front and leaving the back plain.

These are truly gorgeous. I can understand your desire to free those butterflies. They seem right at home on ATCs. Sometimes we have to deconstruct to reconstruct. Love it.

Oh nice. I really like the canvas as it was too! xox Corrine
I think your canvas made beautiful ATC's... My daughter has said very similar things when she's seen me dump the gesso onto a painting. MOM!! What did you just do??
