There’s something about a blank butterfly that gets a room talking. Kerry set out the templates and the paint pens, then let everyone get on with it. Some went bold with colour. Some took it slowly and carefully, one wing at a time. One butterfly grew a face, which nobody planned.
The creative challenge was part of the fun. Fine colouring asks a lot of hands that don’t always do as they’re told, and every butterfly on those tables got finished anyway.
Then there were the cakes. Sarah Rainer baked a tray of butterfly cupcakes, each one topped with its own pair of wings. They looked almost too good to eat. Almost.
