About The Art
These artistically designed hand crafted paper sculptures are realistic looking artificial specimens modeled after the real insects.
Using special art paper for durability. Water based inks that are then applied to the top and sealed in to give it a natural look.
Each one is hand cut and formed in a special way to make them look realistic, they can also be mounted on any material by adhering a magnet, or using a glue dot to apply to a wall or could be mounted into a display box. You will also receive a floral wire which can be inserted into the clasp on the bottom side of specimen after pulling the pin out. Great for floral bouquet, weddings, party favors, kids rooms, hairstyles, on a gift instead of a bow or just create a collection.
Every paper specimen is mounted into a crystal clear box 7"x7"x1" with a photo of the area in which the specimen comes from. Scientific name of the specimen, and location is printed on the backside of the label.
The pattern on the underside of a butterfly's wings may be different to the pattern on the upper side of their wings. These paper specimens have the pattern on both sides.
The collection will show you the composition of Butterflies, Moths and Dragonflies and are as true to size as possible.

Hermosa Mariposa" was created by artist Gary L Thompson in 2008 and has evolved into a unique and beautiful sculpted works of art. He was inspired by butterflies at a very young age recognizing how many varieties existed all around the world. He recognized that more and more species was becoming extinct and that we could capture the essence and the beauty of the butterfly without destroying life. These are a memorial to these grand creatures.
Gary began as a watercolor artist in 1976 and continued through the years experimenting with various art forms and his love and concern for nature and the environment gave existence to this unique business.
