This piece showcases a bright, blue body strong in aqua tones. The upper wings glisten from the inlay of shell work; each shell absorbing and reflecting light differently than its neighbor. The lower wings contrast with a softer, satin, blue finish. As added detail, the metal in the lower wing is pressed to represent the artist's view of the wing's components. Beads radiate from the center of the butterfly, almost making it feel as if this butterfly is transforming from a flower into its animal form. The basic frame of the butterfly is created using tin, which is powder-coated with a black finish and makes this piece safe to use outdoors. The edges of the frame are reinforced using thicker tin wire. The front of this piece is adorned in areas with capiz shell, an oyster native to the Philippines, before being hand-painted and sealed with a water-based sealant.
Dimensions: 18" l x 1" w x 13" h
