My butterfly jewelry is easily inspired! Looking out my window this very minute is one gorgeous black swallowtail searching for a blossom. Unfortunately, most of my flowering bushes have finished for the season. I’m just grateful these beauties still make a pass through my backyard.
Making animal jewelry (even insect jewelry) is easy when you are as fascinated with animals as I am. And the butterfly cycle of life has to be one of the most fascinating of all. When I was a little girl, I loved collecting pupas and waiting for that spectacular metamorphosis into the winged adult. I remember watching (with some impatience ) as the adult emerged, damp and tired. It seemed to take forever for it to finally dry enough to make that first surge skyward.
But worth every minute! My colorful butterfly necklaces, pins and earrings are rather fanciful, but then again, as an artist I have the privilege of creating the vision that I see. And that is an every-changing vision, as you will discover if you get curious about my butterfly jewelry!
