Time feels like it's running away from me, can hardly believe this last year is almost finished. I had hoped by this point my ideas would be finished and ready to be in the final stages but as things go, ideas are always in a state of flux and they will change from week to week.
So far I have one box almost finished which is great and the second is well on it's way just taking time, I've been making lots of butterflies which will be displayed within a box, but until I've finished all of them how they will hang and working out the best way to light them is another matter.
This is a tree which I'm making out of a fiber optic light
Playing with the idea of using foil on the inside to reflect the light around the box.
Still have to work out on hight, think the base will sit in a gap in the box
so that it can be turned on and off from outside the box.
The second box was inspired through the idea and the saying of 'Butterflies in the Belly' I went through a very nervous event which coursed me to feel like I had lots of butterflies all flying around in my belly, and thought this would be a very delicate and beautiful idea to place inside one of the boxes.
This is only a quick sketch idea from the 'Butterflies in my Belly' idea, where by singing, screaming or talking was a way to realized the trapped butterflies.
Inside the box there will be a jar or some sort of container where the butterflies will be emerging from to fill the box. In the process of making a tester from which I can then work things out better.
