When Sarah, from Sustainable Fashion, approached me to collaborate with her using my paper butterflies, I was excited at the opportunity. The paper butterflies she chose to work with were the Richmond Birdwing Butterflies and their host vine that I had created for the Mary Cairncross ‘Tiny Giants’ Collection .
The Richmond Birdwing Butterfly is a threatened species and is listed as Vulnerable ( QLD).
The paper works were photographed by Lyndall Carmichael. These were translated into a digital design by Sustainable Fashion which were then printed onto fabric.
The fabric has been incorporated into Sarah’s new range ‘PAPERWINGS’ for her RANT label.
The clothes will be launched at a pop up shop on the 29 and 30 October. The clothing range is beautiful, fresh, summery and easy to wear.
I will be selling moth boxes, moth paintings and cards at the pop up shop. The moth boxes are custom made boxes with a pinned paper moth in them.
Sarah and I look forward to seeing you there.
If you cant make the pop up shop you can go to Sarah’s website. All clothing will be available online after the pop up shop.
