Butterfly Installation

I saw this awhile ago and it was one of the inspirations for the butterfly display case. Thought I would share it. Scroll down and watch the video. The butterflies are magnetized to make them move. No I am not "eventually planning on" making my butterflies move! Butterfly Installation.
