Butterflies are extra special to my 35 year old daughter, who has autism. I like to take her on trips out to the Butterfly Place where we can walk in a greenhouse filled with butterflies. When she was seven she watched a video on the lifecycle of butterflies and memorized it instantly. More than 25 years later she still likes to recite it to people. They are amazed when she tells them butterflies and moths are in the family Lepidoptera, which means scaly winged. She then explains the lifecycle of the butterfly and metamorphosis. Prior to COVID, I ordered monarch chrysalises for her day program. They watched the butterflies emerge, pump up their wings, and then took them outside to release.
The colors for my entry soap were inspired by a plush blue butterfly that my daughter loves and carries everywhere. I chose colors from the back of the pipevine swallowtail’s wings. Keying in on the Lepidoptera theme, I mixed in sparkle mica to represent the scales. Scented with lemongrass EO.
Thank you for hosting this challenge, @Primrose, and for choosing the butterfly swirl!
