The finished piece is roughly 12" x 15 1/2 ". The butterfly was created from pressed flowers which are glued to a pane of glass with another pane on top. At the top of the piece is a rusted rake head which goes down behind the glass panes and becomes the butterfly's body. Two strings of barbed wire run along the sides of the butterfly and tie the piece together. Shards from a broken clay pot have been glued to the frame in mosaic fashion. Butterfly Gardening will be on "tour" of some of the Salt Lake County libraries and won't be home until next year (after August 2010).
