Purple Spotted Swallowtail Textile Butterfly Brooch

Think back to the mouth-watering colors of your childhood.

How about lavender, lime and otter pop blue?

The delicious hues of the Purple Spotted Swallowtail Butterfly. Although you may never have spotted this butterfly in your backyard (for he lives only in the highlands of New Guinea), you probably did indeed encounter him in the pages of your Tropical Butterfly Coloring Book.

Which Crayolas did you choose to bring him to life?

Product Description:
Instead of crayons, I’ve used a mixed palette of tiny snippets of colored silks sewn to black linen, dotted with beads and backed with felt. With a hand sculpted ceramic body to finish this larger-than-life textile version of a rare species.
