The butterfly and
leaf elements in this piece are adaptations of two Sova-Enterprises
patterns: ("Monarch Butterfly Pin" by Rita Sova and "Falling Leaves"
by Tabby Enterprises) which Rita was kind enough to grant me
permission to use for this contest. The design, as well as the
adaptations, and method of attaching the elements together are my
own.
If August was suddenly turned into a woman, this is what I
imagine she'd be wearing. |
