You must be wondering what all of this is about???
A few days ago, while I was enjoying several visits to some of my favorite artful blogs, I came across a project underway called "The Butterfly Project" hosted by The Holocaust Museum Houston in Texas, USA. Their mission as follows:
A few days ago, while I was enjoying several visits to some of my favorite artful blogs, I came across a project underway called "The Butterfly Project" hosted by The Holocaust Museum Houston in Texas, USA. Their mission as follows:
The Holocaust Museum Houston is dedicated to educating people about the Holocaust, remembering the 6 million Jews and other innocent victims and honoring the survivors' legacy. Using the lessons of the Holocaust and other genocides, we teach the dangers of hatred, prejudice and apathy. And the tag line following it reads:
Stop Hate. Starting Here.
That grabbed my attention. I read on.....
The Butterfly Project mandate is to remember the 1,500,000 innocent children who perished as a result of the Holocaust by collecting 1.5 million handmade butterflies.
In Spring 2013, these butterflies will then become a break-taking exhibition to serve as a memory of this event.
Can you imagine? 1.5 million children translated into 1.5 million butterflies....? If you wondering why a butterfly, the project is based on this poem -
I Never Saw Another Butterfly
The last, the very last,
So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow
Perhaps if the sun’s tears would sing
against a white stone....
Such, such a yellow
Is carried lightly ’way up high.
It went away I’m sure
because it wished
to kiss the world good-bye.
For seven weeks I’ve lived in here
Penned up inside this ghetto.
But I have found what I love here.
The dandelions call to me
And the white chestnut branches in the court.
Only I never saw another butterfly.
That butterfly was the last one.
Butterflies don’t live in here, in the ghetto.
Written by Pavel Friedman, June 4, 1942
Born in Prague on Jan. 7, 1921.
Deported to the Terezin Concentration Camp on April 26, 1942.
Died in Aushchwitz on Sept. 29, 1944.
He was 23. 23. I have a daughter that age.
After a brief moment, I decided, I have to send a butterfly. Then I thought of how I'd love to send a lot of butterflies. Then I thought of the great group of artist friends here ! Who doesn't love a butterfly? And who wouldn't be touched by this poem and this tragedy and want to contribute to this meaningful and lasting exhibit and tribute? And wouldn't it be rewarding to encourage as many people as I could to play along with me???
I believe when I come from a place of abundance, a place of Giving, of Heart and of Light, anything is possible. The universe will support me and everyone else when we act from that Higher Place.
I believe when I come from a place of abundance, a place of Giving, of Heart and of Light, anything is possible. The universe will support me and everyone else when we act from that Higher Place.
I can already see butterflies arriving in my mailbox from kindred spirits like you who share a similar belief. I'll open the envelope, photograph the butterfly and begin collecting a box full of butterflies to send on behalf of all of us!
Will you play with me? Would you like to be a part of this? Join in and make a butterfly?
We'll call it ....
The Butterfly Effect "OPEN"
...borrowing from chaos theory, but much more importantly based on the wonderful notion that if enough people think enough healing thoughts, then slowly our world will be at peace. No one said it better than Gandhi - Be the change you want to see in the world.
The power of the collective consciousness. Wouldn't this be a great place to start?
The power of the collective consciousness. Wouldn't this be a great place to start?
Consider yourself invited!
How it will work -
Follow the instructions as outlined by the Holocaust Museum highlighted in blue below. When your copyright free butterfly is completed, pop it into an envelope including your name, email and blog or web address and mail it to:
Two Dresses Studio
1554 - 20 Avenue South
Lethbridge, AB T1K1E9
Canada
DEADLINE -December 31st, 2011
When I receive it, I will email you and then snap a photograph and post it in a central post like a registry and include a link back to your blog. Then once I'm sure everyone's butterflies have made their way here, I'll send them on their way to the museum .... but NOT before I take a photo of ALL OF OUR BUTTERFLIES!!!!
Or, if you'd prefer to bypass the group project, (though it won't be as much fun!) you can mail your butterfly or butterflies directly to the
Holocaust Museum Houston
c/o Butterfly Project
Education Department
5401 Caroline St.
Houston, TX 77004
The deadline for butterflies to be received at the museum has now been established as June 30, 2012
~Here are the Instructions for Making the Butterfly ~
•Butterflies should be no larger than 8 inches by 10 inches.
•Butterflies may be of any medium the artist chooses, but two-dimensional submissions are preferred. •Glitter and all glitter-related products should not be used.
•Food products (cereal, macaroni, candy, marshmallows or other perishables) also should not be used.
Want to play but time broke? Well, I have an 'app' for that! Here's a simple, quick and easy solution for you. Click on any one of the following images of butterflies, save one, print it out and following the instructions above, art it up, cut it out and mail it in!
Want to get others involved? Here are a few ways -
1. Double Click the image of the hand holding the butterfly above, add it to your sidebar and link it back here.
2. Or write a post about it, or post your butterfly to your sidebar.
3. Or tell two people and ask them to tell two people.
4. Are you an educator or a teacher? Get your class involved. The organizers have a special section devoted for this very purpose here along with five activities, objectives, lesson plans and examples.
Ok, can you tell by how the font size is increasing that I'm excited about this? If you have questions, please feel free to email me at twodressesstudio@shaw.ca (Trudi).
Finally - here are a few links for more information:
3. Butterfly Utopia (direct link to the black and white butterfly images I've posted above)
Remember, don't forget to include your email address and your web site or blog address so I can link your butterfly photo back to you.
Add a bookmark to this post so you can come back and watch the butterflies appear!
And a huge thank you in advance for playing along. I can hardly wait to see what you create!
PS - If you plan to play, please leave a comment here so I can send you reminders! Or if you don't want reminders, let me know that too!

Please count me in. I live in Houston, ane the Holocaust Musuem has been a part of my children's education.
I think this idea is absolutely amazing and wonderful.
I would love to get my children involved. Do you just want us to send you one butterfly, or would it be possible to allow my children to make one as well and send those.
Thank you for this opportunity to be a part of something so beautiful,
Wendy from Wonderland
What a beautiful project. I look forward to participating! What a great way to honor those that have suffered so and died. The thought of all these hand made butterflies puts such a smile across my face!

http://www.frostedpetunias.blogspot.com
P.S. love your art!!
I love this idea and want to participate! What about school children becoming involved also? I can imagine schools full of butterflies, eventually winging their way to Houston. What a wonderful way to bring this lesson to today's kids and honor the children who were lost.
I am soooo "in"! And I have already updated my blog and posted an invite to some of my facebook friends and fellow artists who may be interested (already have one rsvp). I've also talked it over with my kiddos (they are extremely creative, also)and they too are very interested in contributing to the cause. Thanks for letting us all know about this wonderful cause Trudi.
What a wonderful and meaningful project. Count me in!
I posted about it on facebook page and then found this page....

I would really LOVE to take part! I've always been particularly touched by every story about the Holocaust I hear or see on tv... for some reason. I had this nightmare that I was in a gas chamber, a couple of years ago. I woke up feeling... gone. So I want to send my butterfly, too. I'm actually beginning to cry as I'm writing this, so I'll stop and I'll be waiting for your reminders, thank you!
What a great idea! I'm in...I'll be creating a butterfly to send your way. And I'll pass the word on through my blog. Thanks!
Thanks, Trudi!
Count me in please!

thank you for doing this, and inviting us to play with you. My monarch will be arriving shortly. . . .

how could I not join in dear Trudi!
thank you for spreading your butterfly wings and inspiring us all!
oxo
Beautiful Trudi! I am going to give it my best shot! Thank you!
I will join you.
I'm playing !
What a beautiful idea! Just so happens I've been working with images of butterflies lately. One question...is it possible for me to email my image to you? Would make it a lot easier and I can send whatever size/dpi you need.
Thanks!
Take care,
Lauren from NJ, USA
Hi Lauren - you didn't leave an email so I'm responding here.
Unfortunately, I will not be accepting any butterflies via email attachments.
Count me in. It will be an amazing sight.
My butterfly is up on my blog today.
I'll send it off next week xx
What an amazing project, I am so glad I came here this morning... finally a day off, (!). I really want to try to make one! roxanne
Hello! Plese count me in! This is a wonderful memorial project!
Eli Weisel said :"For us, forgetting was never an option. Remembering is a noble and necessary act. If anything can, it is memory that will save humanity. For me, hope without memory is like memory without hope. It's up to you now, and we shall help you - that my past does not become your future."
Thank you so much for reminding us that we should never allow others to forget the Holocaust! The butterfly is a beautiful symbol tha will give a strong voice to every child that perished for future genterations to never allow this to happen again!
Thank you,
Kym
I am a Jew and very proud to be. I am also the mother of three beautiful Jewish children and have have many times wondered if my children would have been strong enough to have survived. Would I myself have been strong enough to survive? I thank God everyday that I was born in America and in a time period where my faith will not be tested to this point. I thank in for all the Jews for your effort in collect the butterflies. I will be sending my along quickly so that it may hang proudly with the others.
Sincerly, Julie Anne

I'm posting this on my blog and am off to makes some butterflies right now
Butterflies are one of my nature spirit guides and have always had special meaning to me.They often alight on me when I am hiking or just gardening.
They are the perfect symbol of spiritual rebirth and the promise of us evolving into beings of light.One of the reasons for naming my own blog after them.
Count me in.
i'm totally up for this - i think it's a fabulous idea and i'll blog about it tomorrow morning. x
Trudi, What a great project! I'm working on it now...will get it in the mail asap!

Thank You for this, I had heard about this awesome undertaking and your information has pointed me in the right direction.
I have posted the link on my blog and butterflys are at this moment cocooning in my mind.
So delighted to find this info. I also have a 23 year old daughter, She has taken all the Holocaust courses her college offers, traveled to Prague and Krakow, Poland and wants a career that honors those lost. I will be honored to participate in this wonderful project!

I think this a great idea . Count me in too. I can't wait to start. Thanks, for sharing.
yep i am in too, my butterfly will come all the way from Australia :)
This sounds really interesting. 8x10" sounds awful big. What is the average size of the ones you have received? I'd hate to be the only person to do a HUGE one!
Hi Kylie_Addicted - you didn't leave an email address so I thought this was the next best place to answer your question.
I would say the most popular size seems to be about 7 x 5 inches.
Thanks for your interest and if you do sign on, please either email me with your contact info or leave it here.

Hi Trudi,
I am definitely going to be a part of this great project and I'd love reminders.
I just know my 7 year old grandgirls would also love to make one or more.

Yes, me too! I'm in ... butterfly fluttering by soon ...

This sounds amazing I totally would like to do this
I am so excited about this project..just added the button to my blog...it will go to the top of my blog in December, once the Mega Mobius Gratitude Quilt invitation comes down. I have forwarded info about this to my friends who are Hebrew School Directors! So I hope this will bring in many beautiful butterflies for a landing!
If you want to add your voice to the gratitude quilt I am still accepting "squares" you can read about it at the top of my blog! (and yes I know it isn't Thanksgiving this week in Canada...but isn't every day a day for giving thanks???)

Patty,
I sent a copy of your Butterfly Effect URL to as many people as I could think of, many Zentanglers, Artists, Jewelry makers, and friends. I hope they all respond, and forward you're site to their friends, and on and on. I will be making a butterfly, my internet picture is a butterfly. What a wonderful story, a wonderfully creative memorial, and what a wonderful woman you are to post this on your blog and share it with us. I am going to email my local news channel also regarding this project. I really needed this to kick in my belief in the kindness and caring of mankind. It couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you, and Bless you.
Ms. Dayle Mathis
I made a butterfly and will send it off to you in a day or two- during Hanukkah, which is a good time of hear to send it out. Thanks for doing this, and I will keep you bookmarked and check to see the great works of art you will receive.

A wonderful project and I want to be part of it.
But one question:
Is it allowed to use the butterfly as signature in forums too?
I want to let other people about this project and so I want to use the picture in forums.
I just blogged about the Butterfly Project!

Thanks!

I have visited the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem and it leaves a deep impression on your soul.
I'm touched by the simplicity of this Butterfly Effect.

I just sent my butterflies yesterday! I really hope they reach you safely. The guy at the UPS store didn't seem to understand how serious I was when I said "IT CANNOT BE BENT". I absolutely love this!
Hi, just heard about this and would very much like to add my contribution. This touched my heart and what a blessing you are the gatherer of such a meaningful project.
I am in, and I have posted it to our quilting forum on HGTV.
I share a birthday with the man who wrote the poem, so was even more moved.
Count me in..
What wonderful project and idea..

Its beautiful idea :) I was with my daughter and her girls scout group at the Museum over the year ago. They were going to participate in this project..helpind and educating younger girls. A lot of things happened since then...one of the girls was killed in tragic car accident ...the group practically doesnt "exist" anymore...Actually it was last time I saw her..at the Museum. Maybe I found your page ..for the reason tonight...maybe the girls could finish the project and heal. Thank you for all your efford...You have an amazingly good looking "blog"
Yes I will participate for this fabulous project. and would love the remindes too!!!!

I am in! I found you through my delightful friend (and eternal breath of fresh air) Faerwillow. I'm glad I did.
I've never made a butterfly before, but I know I can do anything for the good reasons. And this one is an amazing one.
I would love to participate in this through your blog rather than directly through the museum, how fun and what a great cause! I assume you don't mind us borrowing text from your post to share with our followers :)
Love this, following your blog and sending in my butterfly today!

This is such a fabulous idea and I am thrilled to be a part of it. Now, to get started on that butterfly....
