This Spring (2008) I got to be a part of The Einstein Project: Butterflies & Friends on Parade Project. I covered my butterfly with roughly 38 pounds of world coins. Included in that 38 lbs were also many US state and bicentennial quarters, US bicentennial fifty cent pieces a few US pennies. My butterfly sold for $1,900. Very exciting auction. It is amazing what you can tell about countries by what is on their money. Each coin is a piece of art in its own right. The detail of the art on each coin and what each country decides to use to represent itself to the world is amazing. This piece is dedicated to my daughter Natalya who has changed my world for the better since we brought her home from Russia during Christmas 2006. |
