ATC Title: Flutter Wing
Ink, Watercolor and Acrylic

Two Flutter Wing ATCs that encourage the viewer to flutter the butterfly wings. Hold the body side of the butterfly up to a mirror then flutter the wings gently.

The image in the mirror will have a space between the wing halves, which is the thickness of the mirror. In the mirror it will look something like this:

  1. Aloha V.K.

    there is an element of magic in butterflies, yes. somehow for me the completion of the butterflies which can only be done in a mirror holds a similar magic. we are doubled but the butterfly becomes complete.... erm... or something like that. it's fun to gently flutter the wings for a moment little sparks of thought drift in the mind about the world around us in those slow wing movement moments - at least that is what i've found. i've actually done several more. the idea just caught me and was fun. good thing, yes - fun.

    thanks for stopping in - aloha - Wrick.
