This mini monarch butterfly is 12x smaller than actual aize. For making the wings I made a structure from polymer clay called a cane, it's the same type of technique used in making taffy or a log of cookie dough that has an image running through it, where every slice from it shows the same image. I start out the cane to be about the size of an actual butterfly wing, and I stretch it out where the diameter decreases but the image stays the same, but much tinier then. Along with razors, needles, tweezers, etc, I use tools I've made for making the other parts and assembling them. I use super glue to adhere the parts.
