The Reliquary... Revealed!

The drawer has been primed, and then layered with hand-torn 

strips of paper toweling; applied with paper maché paste.

A coat of Gesso too!  My plan is to add some text over the

box and perhaps some images as well.

The chrysalis will eventually hang from the natural branch 

by a rusty wire "cage" which is shaped to its contours.

My little "butterfly boy" still need a body form to insert

in the chrysalis... and an arm and hand holding onto

the torn open side (of what has been his home)!

Thanks for stopping by... Daryle
