Page 10, "Butterfly popup":

This page could not be scanned because of the popup, so I had to photograph it (thus the distorted colors). A picture of a lady was torn from a magazine and glued on. The pages were washed with walnut ink, right over the picture. A velum paper printed with butterflies added on the left and journaling on velum attached with brads on the right. For the popup I made two prints of the butterfly, one reversed, then cut them out and glued together so the back looks the same. I attached thin gold wire for the antennae Then I attached the butterfly to a folded base and glued the base to the page.... had to play with it till it was positioned right for the butterfly to fold inside the book without sticking out.

The base is shaped like this:
