Butterfly Trio

[FrankEV]

The Butterfly patterns were converted from various free images I found on-line.  The Butterflies were cut from 5/32” solid core Birch and are approximately 10” x 7.5” which I primed and then painted with rattle can Krylon Gloss Black.  The Backer is 1/4” x 12” x 24” BB Ply that was hand painted with Acrylic Artist paints.  I used photos of real Butterflies to get an idea of the colors.  The assembled panel was protected with Minwax Clear Gloss Polycrylic.

From top to bottom they are: Monarch, Papillio Ulysses, and Papillio Machaon.  Lots of other images were available but the wing patterns of most were just too intricate to convert to a Cuttable Scroll Saw Pattern.

The frame is 1 3/4” wide premium Pine that was primed and painted Glidden Gloss Black.
