Morpho Mania pattern out now…

“My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies.”

One of the greatest artists once sang this lyric, and the phase has been with me for a long time now. It says so much on a personal level – but even more about the butterfly itself as this little creature of nature is so fascinating and actually a big example of how life can be. We evolve through certain experiences in life, just as the butterfly starts as a little caterpillar. But how fascinating is the butterfly? When you look in detail, it is amazing what you see in colors, patterns, and structures. From that point, I had the craving to make a butterfly-related pattern, not knowing I would end up with three different patterns. I created three different, small patterns – all on different types of butterflies. The blue version is based on the Blue Morpho, the yellow version is based on the Yellow Papillion, and the green version is based on the Green Graphite butterfly.
