While the photo is too small to show the detail, I managed to put some copper beads on the wings of the larger specimen. I’m thinking that colored beads might be more attractive on flutterer. The butterfly at the top of the piece looks as though it might just take wing and escape! I guess it’s that butterfly that I always hoped would land on my shoulder.
I’ve also added some small pewter butterflies to earrings and they fluttered off the sale table with good speed. A bracelet did the same. Let’s hope the three in the pictured necklace also find a happy home.
I’d like to be graceful like a butterfly. Sometimes I feel as though I’m fluttering my wings as fast as I can, but not going anywhere. Butterflies demonstrate grace as they exert this same energy. I do note, however, that they take a break fairly often on a flower or branch. Maybe I should consider this and remember to occasionally pause and redirect my “fluttering”. I supposed it’s worth a try. (where did I leave my coffee cup?) Fluttering By
Where are the butterflies? It’s Spring; my nose itches from the pollen that is everywhere; the redbud tree outside our widow is blooming; so, I’m thinking butterflies. I haven’t seen any. I read that the Monarch butterflies in particular don’t migrate until about October and I do recall seeing a plethora of them after school begins in the Fall. I feel sure that I’ll be seeing butterflies fluttering around the lantana before long, but in the mean time, I thought I’d add a few to my designs in anticipation of their arrival.
Several weeks ago I made a necklace with a single copper wire butterfly stationed on one side of the asymmetrical piece. Yesterday, I decided they should flutter in groups and added three to a piece.
