I bought 2 pieces of art yesterday at an estate sale. They are designs made from butterfly wings! Each is a circle on a dark background, The design measures about 16 inches across. The entire piece is approx. 18 inches by 18 inches
Would this be Folk Art, Mixed Media or just Other Art? I don't usually het into art but these were marked at $30.00 each on Saturday & yesterday I got both for that.

Sanmar, give us a pic. If they are Victorian, you have yourself a find! They might also be Philippino which are not quite as popular.

They sound really interesting! I think I would list under butterflies. I think there's a name for the study of them, or something.
fluffy- I had one of them also. Raid would have been too easy.

Sanmar, I would stay away from the art categories - I have never done well with a listing in art - but if I change the category to Antiques or Collectibles - it does so much better.
It sounds like you made a real find - let us know how it does.

My first thought, honestly, was why did you not take a close-up photo of the wings ...
but, another subject, when i DID click on your close-up and saw that link to "Dealio", this IS the first time I've clicked ONTO that ... it truly *does* try to lead your interested buyers, away from your listings, and on to other peoples listings that have the same or similar items ...
