For sale @ Etsy (Request a Custom Butterfly!):
Blue Hookwing (Napeocles jucunda)
[link]
Cypris Morpho (Morpho cypris) [link]
Peacock (Inachis io) [link]
*windfalcon inspired me with her cute little gryphon keychains ([link]) and I just had to experiment on my own scraps of leather leftover from my mask-making experiment.
These are hand-shaped and tooled leather butterfly keychains rendered with acrylic paint and covered with several layers of protective varnish. They are also signed and dated on the back.
If you're a butterfly enthusiast like myself, these would make a great gift *wink wink nudge nudge*. My personal fave is the Peacock

Yup yup! I didn't either, but it made since after I thought about it some. Basically, leather is a porous surface, much like paper, but with more durability. It's why it's so great for clothing and whatnot because it's able to absorb dyes and withstand a lot of treatments.
You can do all sorts of things to leather, like paint it with acrylic, gesso it, bake it. I'm having so much fun

yea, seems fun to work with
they are uber spiffy! (for the lack of a better word or two).
I wish I had money so I could buy one, it would look awesome on my school bag

If you could have a butterfly of your choosing, what kind would it be (if it's not one of the type of butterflies I've already made)?
Just curious
