Haapy as a butterfly: Mixed Media Art

Butterfly is the symbol of growth, vulnerability,celebration and also soul. it also represent symbol of Love in some cultures.

I think, butterflies are happily accepting the changes comes in life and they are easy going.

When growing up in southern India, we had several butterflies always in the yard, flying from flower to flower. The colours on the wings were amazing. 
Here is my butterfly, flying over the fence, looking for happy flowers.




Process of making 



The paper was painted with gesso first. Then added fiber paste all over. Made the fence like markings with a fork. 
Then, layers of painting and stenciling added. The butterfly wings are filled with tiny beads. 
I felt a finished feeling when this much was done. Now, my inner critic is telling me there is not enough flowers,not enough plants,...
Any suggestion from you?
