As is my usual want one evening I was randomly searching Etsy for vintage delights and happened upon this print from Ecceprints. I really loved the humour and graphics, plus it was rather inexpensive too and so it I promtly added to cart.
I’d been collecting the crosswords that The Gardener and I do every Sunday over coffee with the idea that I would somehow make them into a piece of artwork or craft project. I was inspired by butterfly entomology and specimen cases so made a stencil and created these crossword butterflies.

Love the Etsy link – they are such clever prints.
A have-to-have for me is “I Love You More Than Cheese” – it’s a big call!
Those Ecceprints are great. Thanks for sharing their Etsy link. Really like your butterfly crossword creation. Very cool and a great idea.

Lovely pieces! What fabulous idea making your crosswords into pretty art work! 🙂
Love the graphic butterflies. So lovely! I’m going to have to make my own version.
This is so gorgeous Lady! Not only aesthetically, but is a beautiful reminder of all the lovely brunches you had with your Gardener. Makes me want to do a similar project for me and my Mister 🙂
oh what a clever idea with the butterflies. love it, might pinch it for my house decoration days
Hi Girl….
Greetings from a rainy Oslo…
In order to read this post, and really cosy up I made myself some hot cappuccino, and turned on the radio…
Thats just how your work affects a girl from Oslo:)
Wish you the best week ever…
