Cordelia's Butterflies by

I am so pleased with how this turned out! I took pages from my college Shakespeare book, complete with my highlights and notes, then used them to create the background for this tie-dye style watercolor inspiration quote piece.

The quote is from King Lear: “…we’ll live, and pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh at gilded butterflies.” I thought that was really sweet, so I ran with it from there. The piece does have gilded butterflies—gotta love gold glitter!

I used watercolors, acrylics, fabric paint, and markers to create this one-of-a-kind piece. It measures 18″ × 24″…Enjoy!
