Beautiful butterflies!
I think you got the better end of the bargain with the cutting and allowing the
better half to paint all the detail!
God Bless! Spirithorse

That's a great cooperation and beautiful work.

Do you (or your wife) hand-draw the design on each wing before painting? Does she paint before you assemble, or does she paint on the assembled butterfly?

base coats the wings with the orange or yellow first then trace the painting pattern on then does the black trim around the main color. then i assemble them.
