I love Monarch Butterflies and started working on this oversized piece of wall art last spring. I envisioned resin in laser cut wood as the perfect effect for life-like wings. I also 3D Modeled the body to take LED strip lights so the butterfly could serve as soft lighting. I couldn't be happier with how this came out.
