Pop Brollies - Butterfly Swirls Umbrella

This umbrella was an incredible challenge. The request was silver butterflies on a purple umbrella with the phrase "Clementine Flutterby". I had planned on just three butterflies similar to the bats, but it seemed too simple for a girl who hasn't seen rain in far too long. So, I started working around the idea of swirls and vines partly for a design that will be coming in a bit. As I worked through the design, it seemed a little flat. Other designs I've wanted to be this way but this needed some depth added to it. So I went for a simple black outline and detail to the butterflies.

The last of the difficult part was the phrase. Trying to find the right font, cutting it out for the template, painting and then outlining it all took an incredible amount of time. But the end result is positively delightful. I hope the person it was made for really enjoys it.
