The Art and Care of Framing Butterflies and Feathers
Framing butterflies and feathers requires not only aesthetic understanding but also careful handling and knowledge of conservation.
- Delicate Handling: Both butterflies and feathers are extremely fragile. The wings of butterflies can be easily damaged, and feathers can lose their shape if handled carelessly.
- UV protection: To preserve the bright colors and details of butterflies and feathers, it is essential to use UV-protective glass. This protects against discoloration caused by sunlight.
