Long Live the Butterflies



BUTTERFLIES NEEDED DEADLINE JUNE 2011
Eco Artists step up! The Jewish Holocaust Museum in Houston, TX has extended their call for artists. Their needs? Mixed Media butterflies. The goal is "The Butterfly Project" whereas they will display a wall of approximately 1,500,000 butterflies representing all the children that were lost in the Holocaust. This is a great opportunity to give back as an artist. I have already sent 20 butterflies including the ones shown above. If you want to see my other butterflies that I've made, visit my YouTube Channel.

MORE INFO/RULES FOR BUTTERFLIES:

Butterflies should be no larger than 8 inches by 10 inches.

Butterflies may be of any medium the artist chooses, but two-dimensional submissions are preferred.

Glitter should not be used.

Food products (cereal, macaroni, candy, marshmallows or other perishables) also should not be used.

If possible, e-mail a photograph of your butterflies, to butterflyproject@hmh.org.

Please send or bring your butterflies to the Museum by June 30, 2011, with the following information included:
Your name,
