Crazy Flying Licence Plates

It's been a very busy two weeks.  I'm getting ready for my show in 2 weeks, been working hard on getting the butterflies made and all the other items.  I'm also taking care of hubby who had a total knee replacement last Tuesday.  He's doing really good, but still hobbling around and I'm doing more than my fair share of duties this week.  I'll be hitting it hard tomorrow in the shop as my days are getting shorter with being two people.  It's amazing how much we depend on each other for our various chores and then when one can't do them, man it's a lot of work.  Ok, I'm done whining now.  I'll feel better tomorrow since I don't have cleaning, shopping and therapy to do - I'll be in the workshop all day!  Yeah 

I hope you aren't getting tired of seeing these big butterflies, but I sure have fun making them.  I've been experimenting with the rusting processes.  These came from the same piece of steel, but yet each one reacted or colored differently.  I always try to make each one unique.  Some have steel leaves on them, this one below has a door handle on it, others have cut designs and some have glass beads incorporated and they always have long antenna's or as I call them Antlers; What you've never seen a butterfly with antlers!
