“Butterflies are nature's angels.They remind us what a gift it is to be alive. -Robyn Nola”
These deliciously designed butterflies are pieces of "wearable art" & are made with 2 artforms that are highlighted in them. One is 'Lapidary ' & the other being the art of “mosaic inlaying". The wings are made of a rusty orange color Spiny Oyster & then one by one, each are gracefully chiseled, given a smoothed texture & are beautifully beveled along their scalloped perimeter.
Their abdomen,eyes & the antennas are mosaic inlaid with Carico Lake turquoise,Orange Spiny Oyster shell & black Onyx. This style of mosaic work is done in a Zuni Pueblo style of inlay, with each cut fitting precisely next to the other!!

Please Note:
I am not a professional photographer, but I do try to do my best at giving you accuracy in color. Warmer toned pieces (Especially anything that has yellow in it) can come up more vibrant & seriously saturated,so please take this into consideration. So with these colors,I do very little color editing & actually have to bring down the saturation,since I want this to be as true of color in the photos, as in person.
