I am so excited to share a couple pics of my newest kit at Altered Pages!!
I was inspired in part by a recent movie on PBS....Great Expectations... Part of the show was set in a crazy old manor house filled with lots of cool old bits and pieces. One thing that really caught my eye was the Victorian Specimen Collections! I LOVE them. Our zoo actually has modern collections of bugs, butterflies and other creatures in the Rain Forest section of the zoo.
Anyway, that's where I came up with the idea for this kit. You get supplies to create both a butterfly and egg collection to adorn your own walls or to use as gifts for others.
The butterflies on my plaque are actually pinned on just like the real collections!
I even came up with a fun technique to use with this kit...
It makes your eggs & butterflies look very realistic!
At some point I will share it with you :)
These are great! Love the realistic look of them! What did you use as a backer board?
ReplyDeleteRoni, these are gorgeous! I especially love the butterfly page and was immediately taken back to when I created just such a collection, but of bees! Thanks for the walk down Memory Lane this morning! ;-)

You can purchase unfinished wood plaques in a variety of sizes and shapes at local craft stores.
