“Waxnifique” N° KS-004
"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature A graphic butterfly, nothing twee about it. A small picture in purple, black, white and turquoise, with wax-print wings, that brings colour wherever it lands.
Its story
A butterfly, yes, but not a twee one. Wax-print wings with bold graphic patterns, a deep purple, two little gold rivets at the tips of the antennae... And a 10 × 10 cm format that fits anywhere: on a shelf, a desk, a bit of wall that needs some colour.
For you if you love butterflies without the soppy side. Or as a gift, for someone who has everything... except a one-of-a-kind piece with a story 😉
Speaking of which, the wax has one. It's the offcuts from a custom order: a client wanted my Vagabondages shoulder bag (“Exoplanet”, “C'est ASSE(z), 2” and “Atypie”) in her own colours, and I spent two hours in a fabric shop sending her photos of every possible print until she fell for this one.
It's also the very first butterfly. I designed it to be recognisable and simple enough for a first picture: it might well join the Discovery Kit one day. You'd have the original.
And if it's the technique that caught your eye: Kinusaiga can be learned.
At home with the Discovery Kit (instructions in French; Neptune, Cosmos or Macareux for now), or with me in a workshop.

Near Perfect?
Slightly reduced price (originally €49): this is the first butterfly I made, and one small piece of fabric isn't perfectly tucked into its groove (visible in the close-up). Purely cosmetic.
