Turning A Butterfly Into Beautiful Jewelry 

The first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: skl.sh/gomeowcreations08211 I found this beautiful Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly dead in my backyard. Its wings happened to still be in good shape for the most part and I have never seen a dead butterfly outside due the them being so fragile along with birds eating them. This inspired me to preserve its wings in resin and make this one of a kind set of jewelry. Using gold and blackening the silver it was able to match the wings to the metal and I think this come out really nice.

As someone who has experience with each of these steps and processes -WOWWW! That is so much work, you make it all look so easy. It looks amazing!

Randy i have watched you for 6 years never missed a video. You have really become a Great Teacher and a True Artist 👨‍🎨 Keep up the good work, Thanks a bunch……

I cannot even imagine the number of hours you put into this. Not just the project but the video editing and everything. Thank you so much for being generous and sharing your process with the world. I learned so much here.

Hi Randy! Cool project. I have used already dead butterfly wings before. I was advised by another artist to put the very dry butterfly in a small Tupperware type container with a damp paper towel in the container for 12 hours, THEN cut the wings off the body so the wings don't crumble or fall apart. Then, dry it out a bit for an hour or so, then go for it! Yours turned out beautifully!

It's lovely. I especially like the change to the gold and black silver. Great choice.

Incredible!!

So beautiful ❤❤

Randy the way you coated the butterfly with resin was great!! I have seen a lot of videos on resin, but I really liked the way you did best. Thanks for sharing!!

Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Another great video by randy 👍

Obsessed.

Amazing work! You give it a second life 👏👏👏

Amazing! I cant wait to get my jewelry stuff!

Absolutely beautiful

I liked this alot!! This was unexpected and very creative! Good Job Randy!

Just beautiful!. Thank you for another lesson 😊.

I was always curious how this was done, thanks for the video!

Damn this was cool.

Do you have any videos explaining the illuminate solution?

Fascinating! How creative you are.

How do you preserve the colour of the butterfly wings? A lot of wings lose their colour after applying resin directly onto them😊.

Amazing!!!

Thank u for the help

Beautiful project, thanks for sharing your creativity!

Great to see you back!

Amazing pieces wow

Love your videos! Thank you for the great lessons. This one particularly is cool.

This is crazy cool😱

Beautiful

Are both resins uv? What’s the first resin you use ?

What is the need for the second type of resin? Turned out beautifully!

Really wonderful video and explanation. I have a large insect collection I am going to piece through for duplicates and try this. Have you had any other ideas for how the wings or even other body parts could be used?

When I put resin on butterfly wings, the wings went from a glittery blue to black. How I do it and keep its color?

Great video!! I have a question about keum boo , last video you used a hot plate now you use a torch can you explain a little more with the torch technique?? Thank you Randy!!

Very nice ! (:

Do you have the STL file to print the ring you designed for the curing process? And if so, that's how much would it be to buy the file? Because that is a very ingenious idea

I never would have guessed from the community post.

Thanks, now I know what to do with grandma.

Hola me encanta sus vídeos habrá manera de traducirlos ?

in my opinion holders too big. but idea brilliant
