African Butterfly Wing Art

*******************************************************

Looking for some content to add on Weirdomatic,I found the beautiful art of Paul Caparatta. It seems that all these displays were made in Africa, entirely from dead butterfly wings collected from the ground. Extremely delicate and strangely beautiful, they represent small parts of the African world: from animals and birds to people, they are all images of African culture, tradition and beliefs. 

Paul Caparatta's works, framed or not, are for sale on Butterfly Utopia .

   My husband and I have a beautiful framed artwork that is a vase of spring flowers made entirely of butterfly wings, it’s gorgeous and over 25 or 30 years old at this time. I don’t remember where or when we acquired it.
   Is there a market for this type of artwork?

   Does anyone know who the artist Barry Godanzi Ngayo is? I have a picture of a parrot made from butterfly wings and I wanted to know more about the artist.
