Take Flight - butterfly wings

 Elegant, delicate and joyful... these wings are a gorgeous reminder to live in the moment and enjoy the process.

I am very pleased to present my latest collection of limited edition butterfly wings. This collection consists of 25 pairs of earrings and two sculptural bowls. While it did take me a while to select the colour palette, I am very happy with the results. Bold, hopeful and bursting with creative energy! I took inspiration form Pantone's colour of the year - Very Peri. "Encompassing the qualities of the blues, yet at the same time possessing a violet-red undertone, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri displays a spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourages courageous creativity and imaginative expression" (Leatrice Eiseman Executive Director of the Pantone colour Institute). 

The artistic process is slow and requires significant skill in  cane construction and reduction techniques. Here is a sneaky peak into my process. Enjoy!
