The colour school post was about that it is possible to take two or three primary colours (yellow, red, or blue) and match them with black, white or grey. For an unexpected brightness and vitality. I have made the little blue polimer beads myself. Rolled in salt then baked. :) For the wings I used here toho beads, preciosa and chinese ones after considerable culling.The wings are made in brick stich then attached to the body. i have used wire to strengthen the body and wings. :)
Here are some inspirational pictures of butterlies:

In conclusion, it was tougher to make than I imagined, but I like the end result a lot :)
Have a beadful day, take care
