These came about while I was still cleaning my studio. I found a dress pattern "filed" in the wrong pile, after finding a scrap of brown bag I had cleaned a butterfly stamp on (for a future serendipitous discovering) and added to that a scrap of hideous orange polka dotted scrapbook paper, oh and a strip of vintage fabric. Suddenly, the cleaning was forgotten in my creative pursuit of butterflies. BTW, thank you Margaret, for the butterflies!
That lovely tangle of thread along the bottom of each card is a hideous florist's ribbon (from the 1970s) that a friend bestowed on me. Remember how everything organic and natural became the rage? This vintage "ribbon" was burlap's answer to lace. I love the stuff!
I don't know who coined the phrase, "if nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies", but Emily Pruitt gave me a tag with that sentiment and I have been in love with it ever since.
