I made a cane of just butterfly wings, thinking that I could cut two wings and add a body. It work pretty good. The wings look nice. I put three butterflies on the barrette holder that I was making. They look really nice. They have more dimension then the flower canes that I used with them but I like the look. I am going to try working with butterflies both by just making the wings and also practice making a traditional cane.
I got some alcohol inks the other day. (They where on sale). I am planning on playing with them this coming week. I have some techniques that use them that I want to try. I have heard that the alcohol inks hold their color better. It will be interesting to see how things work out. I know that I need to careful while using the inks, or I might get colored as well.
Tomorrow, I plan on getting pictures of the barrette holders and posting them. I have two made that I will be putting up for sale soon. I really like the plans and they are easy to make. I will also be making more soon.
