while cruising for love and muses on design crisis yesterday, i spied some mighty fine butterflies constructed from vintage maps.

these delicate little dandies underwent their magnificent metamorphosis via london-based artist joseph lucien warren.  joseph debuted his winged creatures in 2007 for a london art show called "the butterfly effect."

beginning next month, selected butterfilies will be available for purchase through joseph's website imagesurgery.com.

who knew geography could be so flutteriffic!
