Summer brings with it butterflies. In abundance. I love that this stone is a way to preserve that beauty, once they have left our skies.

The process is simple really.
I smeared a thin layer of Mod Podge underneath where I would place the wing. Carefully pressed out any air bubbles until it was dry. Then gently covered over the wing with more Mod Podge to seal it, and to protect the wing from fingers and the elements.
I have placed it on display with other Summery things. On our Seasonal Table Display in the kitchen. It gets many comments.
Next time, I will use a much paler pebble, so that the beautiful natural colours of the butterfly's wings, are shown with more justice.
