Design craft-butterfly

I have been looking for an idea for a design craft for my project at college. I saw a butterfly at the Haining when we went for a visit. I thought that creating a butterfly out of different coloured buttons would be a good idea. After trying this I have found that it did not work as well as expected.  I will not be using this for one of my final designs,  I will maybe redo the butterfly with acrylics or pencils.
