We have ended up with 36 butterflies and dragonflies! There are more photos on my Flickr page. Check them out!
We decided to mount them on Hardiboard... and most of it was donated by a nice lady who happened by while we were making the butterflies at the settlement and happened to overhear me say that I might use it! She had quite a few siding style boards and they are perfect! I measured each b-fly and d-fly.. marked the boards and Joe cute them to size. Then I numbered each b-fly and d-fly and the boards that fit them.. and spray painted them all white. Then my friend Helen came over and we started using Thinset to "glue" the 'flies to the boards. Goodness... in writing this I realized that I'm leaving out a lot.. like adding boarders to some of the 'lies and extra pieces to others so that they would be filled out and... and.. and...
Here are some photos of the process...
Aren't they beautiful!!! :)
