The Blessing of The Folder

Traditionally in Portugal, every year, someday during Spring, there's a big celebration to congratulate students for the sacrifice they made, to have spent between 3 and 5 years partying, flirting , getting drunk until they all drop, and eventually....for the fact that they have finished their courses and are now officially doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc.

During that celebration, there's a cerimony called something like..."The Blessing of the Folders" in wich a priest blesses a certain folder that every student has.
This folder contains several coloured, silk stripes, that are painted according to the course that the student has done or something that he/she likes; and where family, relatives, and friends write their testimonials and wishes for the student.

I have been painting those stipes for people who ordered, so i decided to post some of them here. The ones i'm posting today, have all the same subject: Butterflies! How original! Hope you like them!!!
