Friendly Plastic butterfies by Antonia Rozsa

Friday, April 9th, 2010
I think it's so cool that Friendly Plastic is such an international medium.  This piece was created by Rozsa Antonia from Hungary.   Unfortunately, I can not translate her email into english.  But regardless, who needs words to describe her work when a picture says a thousand?

NEW VIDEO! Butterflies in Motion – Friendly Plastic

Thursday, October 1st, 2009
To kick off the Winter CHA OPEN design challenge, I thought it would be a good idea to give you a little inspiration. As you go thru the video be thinking of different materials you can mix in to create your butterflies. So enjoy this video and hopefully it will give you a little creative nudge.

I taped the opening and closing of the video outside....little did I realize that the bugs and frogs wanted to be part of the video and sing to the top of their lungs...thus the background noise...but hey..it's nature right???
