Book Art Project.

I could not find any specific artists who focus on doing images of artists or book art, but I did find these images that I used for inspiration for my project. 

After looking at lots of images with book art with butterflies, I decided I wanted to use this as a starting point for my book art project. 

After looking at this image I decided that I wanted to at least make a few of the butterflies from cut outs of a book as I think it looks really lovely.

I decided I wanted to start cutting out my butterflies, so I looked at shapes of butterflies on the internet such as these, and my cat even helped. :')

I next found a book that I was able to work with and it was okay to cut out off. I bent the spine of the book so that it would stay open when laid out. 

After deciding the shape of butterfly I wanted to cut out, I tarred out some pages of the book and cut quite a few out. 

I decided that I wanted the butterflies to slowly get coloured so I decided to water dome some acrylic paint and colour different ones.
