The butterfly opens all four wings, and each wing is in two parts: the outer edge is deep purple glass that reads almost black, the inner part is clear textured glass, so you see the scene behind through the middle of each wing. The body is an oval of the same deep purple, and the chain is fixed to the two upper wings. Two colours and eight mirrored wing pieces, finished within one short session.
