The Butterfly Project - Holocaust Museum Houston
One million five hundred thousand children perished in the Holocaust. In an effort to remember them, Holocaust Museum Houston is collecting 1.5 million handmade butterflies. I read about this project on another artist's site and it immediately touched my heart. I knew I had to make something for it!
I plan on making more butterflies and this one still needs a backing and to be cut out .. but I think cutting will be the last thing I do as it's safer to store them this way. My Zentangled Butterfly ...
I hope you join me and make some butterflies of your own!!
Their website states:
The butterflies will eventually comprise a breath-taking exhibition, currently scheduled for Spring 2013, for all to remember. The Museum has already collected an estimated 600,000 butterflies.
Please facilitate the "I Never Saw Another Butterfly" activity and create as many handmade arts-and-crafts butterflies as possible. This project may be completed by all ages as individuals or groups.
* Butterflies should be no larger than 8 inches by 10 inches.
* Butterflies may be of any medium the artist chooses, but two-dimensional submissions are preferred.
* Glitter and all glitter-related products should not be used.
* Food products (cereal, macaroni, candy, marshmallows or other perishables) also should not be used.
* If possible, e-mail a photograph of your butterflies, to butterflyproject@hmh.org.
Please send or bring your butterflies to the Museum by June 30, 2012, with the following information included:
* Your name,
* Your organization or school,
* Your address,
* Your e-mail address, and
* The total number of butterflies sent.
Mail or bring your butterflies to:
