Once again I was inspired by something real, the beautiful male Purple Emperor butterfly which shows an iridescent purple sheen when the light hits its wings.
My butterfly, Charity Daybreeze, will be a female made from pretty lavender resin with purple hair.
I've been playing around with her wig, but I'm not at all happy, it looks awful. To be honest I'm not at all sure what I was trying to achieve, but I will take this one apart and completely restyle it.
I found some pretty lavender tulle covered with coloured butterflies and thought it would be the perfect fabric to use for her gown. Even though it's not finished, here's a preview.
