Day 71-leather butterfly wing

Today I spent most of the day in the garden ripping out weeds, I was in a foul mood and the weeds were on the receiving end of my anger! I find the garden very therapeutic and I always try my best to devote my anger at gardening and housework (I figure at least the energy gets put to good use).
Tonight I have cut out a leather butterfly wing, at first I sketched a butterfly wing onto paper, cut this out, and then stuck the stencil directly onto the leather with masking tape (that way when i was using the stanley knife or scissors the leather did not move around). see pics below...
Well I am off to bed, I need an early night as I have a stall at melbourne's camberwell markets tomorrow (not for craft creations just getting rid of excess clothes, household goods, books etc) I love a good trash and treasure market and its always fun having a stall. I will let you know how it goes tomorrow.
Cheers
