1. Introduction.

Butterflies – one of the most beautiful creatures on Earth! They look like flowers come to life, the brightness of the color of their wings is truly fantastic! It is not by chance called the butterfly a symbol of beauty and joy. Gentle, lovely creation – butterflies always delight our eyes. Looking at them, we get closer to nature, relieve tension of our rapid, hectic life.

Children often catch butterflies, not realizing that these are causing them harm.

I was struck by the world’s only case of “treatment” of the insect. One autumn day in the studio of the painter Antropov Kuindzhi flew butterfly. In the morning she was frozen to the glass, and when it tried to break free, then so badly frayed the wing that could no longer fly. Kuindzhi decided to save his guest. From his own hair, he fashioned a wing frame, and between the hairs pasted a patch of thin paper, which masterfully painted by copying the image from the other wing. This almost weightless frame the artist neatly pasted on the damaged wing of a butterfly, and a miracle happened – she flew. Imagine – Fly!

So my master class will teach careful attitude butterflies help of glass shards and beads to collect their world of butterflies.
