butterflies on a soft lilac / grey background. Large version.
More of what grows in my garden. Butterflies are symbolic of resurrection, hope, joy, and new beginnings, but often these things only come through dark times and hard experiences. Today was, for me, one of those days, but working on this pattern lifted my spirit. This is for my husband. I used a photo from wikimedia commons as a reference for this work, you can find it here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Small_white_female_in_flight.jpg
