Keys Craft - Butterfly
by

As years go by, we tend to accumulate keys - spare keys and keys we no longer use. What can one do with them? Here is what I did.
I assembled the keys and arranged them into butterfly form. I looked for other metal shapes to complete the butterfly look (the body and antennae).
I planned to use craft acrylic paint so I needed to prime the keys assembly. I used gray paint primer in spray form.
I applied craft acrylic paint using rubber foam (to minimize brush strokes). But in the end, I still used brush, especially in the borders between colors.
I mounted the painted assembly on a board I painted reddish pink. To give it some character, I covered the painted board with an iridescent coat. The entire assembly was glued to the board and ready for framing.
