A few months ago I took a class at the Glitter Art Institute in Cottonwood Arizona. In the class I learned how to make a butterfly using wire and Fantasy Film.
Fantasy Film is a translucent iridescent film that comes in several colors. The technique involves creating a frame with wire and ironing layers of the film onto the frame.
The holes and irregular edges are made by burning the film with a candle. The wispy white stuff is Fantasy Fiber which is shredded film.
The body is made of buttons and the antenna is made from fun wire. I added beading to the wings and base of the body.
You can purchase Fantasy Film, glitter and other products on-line from the Glitter Art Institute. The site also has on-line tutorials showcasing their glitter techniques.
I have lots of ideas of how to use this technique so stay tuned.
