Inspiration

The chosen theme for this collection was butterflies, however to make this project more interesting it was focused on butterflies magnified rather than just mirrored butterfly designs. The patterns and lines on butterfly wings are more intriguing and were most inspiring to create prints. The variety of colours on butterflies also influenced the decision of the chosen theme. Another reason for choosing butterflies as an inspiration is that today, they are used in various objects such as clothing, jewellery, art, furnishings and many others. A fondness of butterflies and an interest in collecting these things them provided the inspiration for this design work. Here are some photos of magnified butterflies that inspired me:
