The Butterfly pieces start with up-cycled luxury boxes or shopping bags that are trimmed into the background shape, collaged and then embroidered. The embroidery is stitched directly through the actual box itself. Each background features intricate embroidery stitches that truly make each one unique. Once the background is complete it is padded and mounted. The butterfly is embroidered with ver 150,000 stitches. Once embroidered are hand trimmed and mounted in relief over the background.

Stephen Wilson expertly crafts extraordinary and timeless designs using sustainable materials. Each art piece embarks on a journey, starting with an up-cycled luxury bag, box, silk scarf, or album. Wilson meticulously creates a bespoke embroidery design, delicately intertwining every stitch by hand. Once the design, colors, and elements are meticulously selected, the artistic process advances to the assembling stage. The boxes and bags undergo a mesmerizing transformation, metamorphosing into captivating canvases for Wilson's creations. The embroidery is seamlessly integrated into the chosen medium, unveiling a captivating texture that breathes life into the artwork. Appliqués, patches, and butterflies are individually stitched out, meticulously crafted, and delicately placed on each piece, culminating in a truly distinctive and unparalleled masterpiece. Finally, each artwork is beautifully presented, encased in an acrylic frame, ready to enchant all who behold it.

How are they mounted on the wall?
Each butterfly comes mounted and molded on an acrylic base that extends off of the wall for a breathtaking 3D view so the wings will look like they are in motion. I have developed a new hanging system that mounts to a wall using an easily removable standoff system. No electric tools are required, just a Philips head screwdriver. The butterflies are able to be turned and rearranged on the standoffs once they are installed.
