Papillons Précieux
Created for the Advanced Track of the Make It In Design Winter School (2024) in response to a brief titled 'Metamorphosis'. ------- Butterflies spend much of their lives in transformation. They were a popular motif amongst Art Nouveau artisans who transformed them from fleeting to eternal beauties via the art of enamelling and gem setting. This was the element of metamorphosis that I took for my design. ------- Hand-painted/digital hybrid. Hand-painted elements retouched and digitally developed in Photoshop. Please scroll to the end of the project to see my moodboard and hand-painted elements.
