Die Schmetterlinge

Just a simple butterfly, but beautiful in it's simplicity.
A photo I made last year in Biosphäre Potsdam.
I printed it on fabric, found some fabrics to compliment it
and quilted it lightly.
My animal kingdom.
(Schmetterlinge is German for butterfly)

Love the photo transfer. Would have been okay with me if you'd sewn around the butterfly and made him pop more; but pretty as is too.

A fabulous butterfly. Simple yes, and beautiful.

Butterflies are never simple. Love the colours you have chosen for the frame.

a beautifully restrained quilt, really showcasing the butterfly: enhancing and not distracting from the main subject.

Such a beautiful subject. I love the way you chose to frame and quilt your piece.
