At Last...a Butterfly!!

About six weeks ago, the lovely DEB over at PAPERTURTLE posted about 'The Butterfly Project' in memory of the 1.5 MILLION  (yes... MILLION!) children who were killed in the Holocaust. The Holocaust Museum in Houston TX is trying to collect 1.5 million butterflies in those children's memory, and Deb has asked her blogger friends to help her collect 51 butterflies to send to the museum.


I decided to make mine from vellum, using my fledgling Pergamano skills..and it is now ready to be posted off to Deb




 If you want to find out more about this project, you can read Deb's post HERE.


Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx
