New Zealand designer Chris Waind has created this set of decorative paper butterflies.

Called Papillons Graphiques, the pieces are packaged in a metal tin that includes a set of pins so they can be displayed pinned to a board like a real butterflies would be in Victorian collections.

Each piece is a digital print on watercolour paper to give a textured feel.

Here's more information from the designer:

 

The Graphic Butterfly Collection.

 

"Nine species of graphic butterflies packaged in a brushed metal presentation tin and finished with a label band.

The collection also comes with a set of pins.

The dimensions of each butterfly measures around 3.5" (90mm) high X 4.5" (115mm) wide. The tin measures 3 3/4" (95mm) long X 2 3/8" (60mm) wide.

Each specimen is a giclee print on 200gsm archive watercolour paper, for deep rich colour with a textured feel.

This makes a beautiful gift for anyone looking for a slightly more humane butterfly collection."
