The Monarch

I have to say that this is one of my best. My great Aunt's partner just passed away after being with each other for 14 years. She truly loved him. My great Aunt loves butterflies. She wanted a previous piece I made a little while ago but I was stingy and didn't want to give it away. However, based upon the circumstances, I really wanted to make her something special. Based on one of Bella Pilar's pieces I made this. The wings of the dress are water color and the skin and hair is color pencil. I love how it came out and to see my great Aunt's face after I gave it to her was incredible.

 

Now I have created two of these amazing butterfly gowns based off of Bella Pilar's illustrations.
