Specimens! 🦋 I’m very proud of myself for putting these together. *Both the dragonfly and butterfly were found already dead in my back yard* The monarch is a little worse for wear but I thought they were both so beautiful that they needed to be preserved. I couldn’t find much on how to preserve a butterfly but I did soak the dragonfly in acetone. I glued both on to some fabulous orange card stock and spruced up some flowery paper with markers and gold pen to make the borders and there we have it. Now they’re both residing on our bedroom wall 😍 #butterflyspecimen #dragonflyspecimen #amateurspecimens #amateurpreserver #monarchbutterfly #danielesmithart https://www.instagram.com/p/B40SwciDDfb/?igshid=1sgblw9j029c0
