Project butterfly; becoming Serena VanderWoodsen

While I'm trying to find a great job and a fabulous appartment in a time of financial crisis (which is not an easy task) I might as well keep myself busy with my creative projects. :)
So because I (and probably every other girl who ever watched Gossip Girl) have always wanted to be 'Serena VanderWoodsen', I thought it would probably be a good idea to make it my project to become her. Unfortunately It would be hard to become more Beautiful, tall, blond, incredibly rich, able to pull off any unaffordable designer outfit etc,.... BUT one thing I can do is replicate the really cool piece of butterfly art above Serena's bed!


After a little googling I found out the Artist is Paul Villinski and he makes beautiful butterfly art out of beercans he finds on the streets. I can dot that!
So I started 'Project butterfly' by collecting cans and cutting out 64 Butterflies, (Yes 64!! it took me a lot of time and my hands now look like I've tried to cuddle a hedgehog.., but it was all for a good cause).


After days of cutting, painting, glueing, filing, sawing and turning my parents house into a workshop, I have to say I'm pretty proud of the result! Though I still have to find an appartment for my butterflies and myself to live in, I allready feel very Serena-Vanderwoodsen-ish.
