Seeing this, I decided to make a butterfly, too -
using, letting myself being further inspired by Lisa´s
beautiful one, a page from an old book on Heinrich Heine
and a copy of a drawing by Else Lasker-Schüler...
That´s the story behind it: Trudi Sissions of Two
Dresses Studio is gathering handmade butterflies
to support the "The Butterfly Project" by The Holocaust
Museum in Houston, Texas, the goal of which is to
collect 1.5 million butterflies as a remembrance of
the 1.5 million children who perished in the Holocaust.
In Spring 2013, these butterflies will be shown in a
memorial exhibition.
And the September piece grew a berry...

The hanging piece is just making me think again of a child caught stealing pie. It has a certain humor.
your butterfly is so very different, very delightful. and yes to the above comment about the pie, i can even see the smudgy fingermarks...k.
We don´t have pie around here, we have Apfelkuchen (+ I can feel the crumbs in my pocket...;)
You can also contribute directly to the museum of the Holocaust here

This has been on my mind for 3 years now
Heike, your butterfly is lovely...i adore the layers and the picture that you've used. thanks for the copy..i also read her story on the link your provided. thanks for passing along the story.
Your delicious berry piece does look good enough to eat!
I've seen this tribute flying around a few blogs now. A wonderful way to bring colour and love back to the spirits of lost children. Lending them magic and expression xJ
Thanks... - usually I wouldn´t find it ok to print + use a drawing like that, but here it did feel right... + you´re right, too, Arlee, should have added that link also...
A lovely butterfly, for a very worthy cause....
right now there are berries growing on everything. nice words on wings.
Happy sigh...just beautiful Heike. Like all of your art. Restful too.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful project! I'd like to do one too. Yours is beautiful, of course!
Go ahead, everyone, + make one too...
