@artificersarchive.bsky.socialI have struggled with my weight and body image since I was young. Seeing what society considers perfect drove me to bulimia, diet pills, fad diets, and anorexia.

@artificersarchive.bsky.socialOh.... We're all out here trying to figure it out. A little sneak peak of a piece I'm finishing up.

@judithmonroe.bsky.socialWhen you bring one of these pieces home, you're not just bringing home a beautiful image of a butterfly.
You're bringing home years of walking trails and paying attention. Images of real specimens from butterflies that lived full lives…
@artificersarchive.bsky.socialWhat you don't see behind the scenes are artists reorganizing totes, unraveling cords, opening new bags. This was my day yesterday prepping for MOCA Boardwalk. I can't wait to see you all out there. Find me in booth 2725!

@judithmonroe.bsky.socialThink that my butterfly art will be too big for your space? I have some small pieces that will fit on a shelf or that tiny spot on your wall.
My Butterfly Collection goes public this Thursday!

@judithmonroe.bsky.socialHave you ever wanted a butterfly collection but didn't quite know how to make it happen?
Same. For a long time, it felt like a childhood dream that just never came together. Then I figured out how to collect specimens I could actually enjoy, and…

@judithmonroe.bsky.socialI have always been a collector.
Rocks. Shells. A stamp collection I should probably look for someday. And somewhere along the way, a childhood dream of having a butterfly collection that never quite happened.
Until recently…
@judithmonroe.bsky.socialDid you know that there are over 550 species of swallowtail butterflies worldwide? They live on every continent except Antarctica. Most species prefer warm, tropical & subtropical regions, especially in Southeast Asia, but…

@judithmonroe.bsky.social"I love it but where would I put it?" My Butterfly Collection artworks range from small pieces that tuck onto a shelf, all the way up to larger statement pieces that anchor a whole room. There's genuinely something for every space & every budget.
@judithmonroe.bsky.socialThe fun part about having a butterfly collection is that they always look so nice together.
Can you tell what species these butterflies are? Look in comments for the answer.
My Butterfly Collection will be released soon.

@judithmonroe.bsky.socialDid you know I collect butterflies?
Not caught ones. Only butterflies that have already lived their full lives in the wild or came from sanctuaries working to protect wild populations. That part matters to me.
@artificersarchive.bsky.socialHad a wonderful time with the hubs for dinner at Amicis followed by the opening reception for the Rooted in Love exhibition at the Suffolk Art Gallery. Congratulations to all the winners!

@judithmonroe.bsky.socialWhen I was little, I dreamed of having a butterfly collection. I had a net, but it was mostly a catch-and-release program.
Now I do it differently. I find butterflies who lived full lives in the wild and passed away naturally…
