Papillon Précieux
Hand-painted/digital hybrid
Created for the Advanced Track of the Make It In Design Winter School in response to a brief titled 'Metamorphosis'.
-------
Butterflies spend much of their lives in transformation. They were a popular motif amongst Art Nouveau artisans who transformed them from fleeting to eternal beauties via the art of enamelling and gem setting. This was the element of metamorphosis that I took for my design.

My drawings and hand-painted elements given some insight into how I make my designs. They are carefully created with great attention to detail.
I started sharing my process as I realised people like to see this, it keeps it real!
