Violets and Butterfly
This is an original design item made in a technique known as paper quilling or paper filigree. It features violets and a butterfly.
Violets are one of my favourite flowers. They have so many names – Heartsease, Wild Pansy, Bird’s Eye, and Cuddle Me etc.
Violets are called Flowers of Modesty because they hide their flowers in the heart-shaped leaves.
There are many legends and stories about Violets. People say if you send violets to someone you are sending them a message of love, humility, modesty, resurrection, spring, and immortal soul.

Quilled Butterfly - Papilio Ulysses Telegonus or Metallic Blue Papilio
This is my first attempt to quill a real butterfly. This is Metallic Blue Papilio most commonly found in Papua New Guinea. I decided to include simple white flower as background.

The template for the frame was borrowed from Inna's Creations http://increations.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-make-simple-paper-frame.html
The Butterfly was cut using Cuttlebug and MarianneDesign Creatable stencils.
This composition is my little present for my Mum's birthday.
