      The wings cannot lose color, because they don´t contain any color. Butterfly wings have their color through the effect of iridescence, which is created by the physical surface structure and the way it excludes wavelengths of light in the reflection, which appears as different colors in our eyes. The same reason for soap bubbles and compact discs to appear colorful. There is no chemical pigments involved that could fade.

      My guess is, if you keep them out of sunlight, probably not unless the initial heat breaks down the structure of the scales. Now I'm going to watch!

      I was wondering whether you might add that surprise, since I knew it would look great with the piece! I'm a sub of Positive Couple (Позитивная парочка). They have done MANY resin tables. From what I can tell, any mistakes you made were so minor as to be insignificant. It looks gorgeous.

    This video couldn't have been released at a better time. My mother passed away recently, and her funeral was today. We did a live butterfly release in her honor, because they were one of her favorite things. We released 50 Monarchs and 50 Pipevine Swallowtails because they are native to this area. This was a great video and a beautiful piece of art, keep up the amazing work. 👍🏻

    What an awesome idea! I’ve never been this fast to a video (it was only put up 3 minutes ago).The table looks really nice, I wonder if one could be done with some butterflies on angles that make them look like they’re soaring in 3D and going at different heights.

  • @blodpudding
    @blodpudding Рік тому +2

    If you do something like this in the future you should put the background first then a layer of clear to stick the butterflies on then another clear. That way you get the separation from the background and if you light it right they can cast shadows so it looks like they're suspended in flight!

    Absolutely beautiful, Ben. When you first said you were going to make a table from that piece of wood, I imagined you would leave it intact and (CNC) rout (or carve) pockets for each butterfly and inlay them into those. This was much more interesting and better.
