Description Been sitting on this one for a while as I wanted the lady, for whom I made it, to get to see it before I uploaded pictures to the web.

Made as a present for a friend who like butterflies, and whose favourite colour is, I am advised, blue.

Crafted from 2.6mm vegetan leather, soaked and moulded over face whilst applying heat from a hairdryer.

I'd originally intended to do gradiations of colour from light blue to dark heading towards black at the edges, I accidentally dropped a bit of light blue at the top-right corner of the mask though and when trying to clear it off went "Ye know? This works."
The rest of the paint job followed after that.

Modelled by my gorgeous wife, thanks honey.

Beautiful!
I love the way it shines, and the silver dots work really well to highlight without distracting.

Thank you hon. The silver highlights were prompted by Breeze.
She thought that the butterfly needed a little something to make it more alive.
I though that it looked a bit like a clear midnight sky... and what can you see then? Stars.
Therefore and hence....
