Using butterflies as a canvas? Well, that's something you don't see every day! French artist Sarah Garzoni used the beautiful insects for her recent project Mimesis. She painted directly on the butterfly wings using, what else, but an inkjet printer! Just like Ian Davie, who paints on swan feathers, Garzoni brings life back to nature in an interesting and unique way.
