See Museum Project here http://hmh.org/ed_butterfly1.shtml
This week I finished three small stained glass butterflies and delivered them to the Museum here in Houston.
I have toured the museum before with my children on school educational trips. It is hard to see the film and pictures of what Jews had to endure while in the camp. I left the Museum with a heavy heart saddened by the reminder of how cruel people were treated.
Other butterflies are in the works. Two of my instructors are working on lesson plans for next week to include the Butterfly Project. I am making a few origami butterflies using scrapbook paper. How about you? Can you donate a butterfly or two? If so, visit the Holocaust Museum website for more information. Together we can help the Museum reach the goal of 1.5 million butterflies to represent the number of children who lost their lives in the Holocaust.

These are so beautiful, Irene! Thank you so much for your contribution to the museum (and the link to my original post). I'm glad you got to deliver them yourself and to see the museum. :o)
What a fantastic post Irene. I love the butterflies you made, and it's so cool that you visited the museum. Tim Holtz just posted a very cool butterflybtechnique on his blog, so I might make another one.
