I have been making a butterfly garland today, with 5 of the most common butterflies in the UK.
I thought about making some into brooches. I was searching for others, but didn’t find many actually based on real butterflies.
If you were looking for a butterfly brooch, would the colour be the most important thing, or do you look for something that resembles a actual butterfly.
Butterflies with random colours and patterns are nice but I would be more drawn to a realistic looking butterfly. It might be a favourite butterfly or one often seen on country walks that catches a customers eye. Maybe you could mention the butterflies preferred flower or where they can be found in your marketing info. I really like the ones in the pic above, the orange tip is my fave
I’ve been making some pyrographed drawer knobs with butterflies on and personally, I love the fascinating variety of real butterflies (and moths!) that we get in this country. Much prefer that to generic ‘butterfly’ images and I’m afraid I make what pleases me rather than what might or might not please others. That probably explains why I don’t sell much
