Framed Papercut Butterfly Art

We created this stunning papercut butterfly artwork from a photograph we took in the World Museum in Liverpool. We had taken our daughter to the museum when she was only two years old and they have an amazing collection of insects on display.

Our daughter was mesmerised by the Butterflies, so we asked her to point out her favourite. She pointed to a stunning Paperkite butterfly, with gorgeous ivory and black wings. We took a photo and when we got home we started work on this piece of art.

The butterfly is incredibly intricate, following the pattern of the wings perfectly, some sections are only a fraction of a milimetre thick. The finished piece is gorgeous in its simplicity. When framed and placed in a well lit space the intricacy creates a magical shadow in the mount.

This picture would sit perfectly in a contemporary home, and make an ideal gift for anyone who loves nature and the world around us.
