'Wings' theme inspires butterflies on icy floral branch

April 2013's Theme ornament for one of the exchanges was “Wings”.  I had been wanting to do some wraps for branches and this gave me the opportunity to practice.  I had picked up a beaded floral twist and a couple of scrapbook butterflies a few months earlier.  Both items were in the “reduced for clearance” section of one of the national craft stores.  I took the butterflies and using 20 gauge craft wire, fashioned some holders, gluing the bottom of the butterflies to the craft and then securing the wire on the floral stem.  I then affixing some “snow” to the floral branch with polycarbonate saw-dust and glitter.
