My art group, Prim and Whimsy GirLs is having an art challenge. The theme is All A Flutter. So many wonderful things come to mind...birds, butterflies, a kite, laundry drying in the wind.... I could go on.
All this week our members will be listing their wonderful creations on eBay. Just use the search term, PWGL Flutter to see them.
And what did I create you ask? Butterflies. This frame of butterflies seems to have an escapee....
Each butterfly is cut from an aluminum can.
What a beautiful way to make colourful butterflies!
ReplyDeleteCut from aluminum cans. Now that couldn't have been easy! And they are all so delicate and shaped so perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI love the patterns that you chose, they make such colorful butterflies!
Well done!!
Aluminum cans are SO THIN any more that it is liking cutting heavy paper.
ReplyDeleteI used a pair of pliers to pull off the top and used an ordinary pair of scissors to cut down the side of the can & around the bottom to flatten it and then cut out the design.
Super easy! :0)
oh wow! those little butterflies would make a really cut wind ornament of some sort... Tarabeth thinks there cute - she says "mommy look at the cute butterflies". even your granddaughter appreciates your art! :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe Tarabeth needs this picture for her room....
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm working on a kinetic butterfly sculpture...just need more cans!
