Last Entry for Symposium

A piece of my final entry for Symposium this year in Wellington. This is for the New Zealand Quilter Small Suitcase (Made in New Zealand) category. It is a Monarch butterfly, but I have painted with setacolor the orange sun rays from the Edmond's "Sure to Rise" logo on the wings. The body is layered scraps of fabric, thread and chocolate papers trapped under black tulle. The whole butterfly is heavily quilted and a few scattered crystals for further decoration.

Digital and photograph entries need to be in Wellington by Wednesday, mine will be posted today, hurray!
