Beadwork OOAK Black Swallowtail Butterfly Brooch by patereeves

Shared by Patereeves in the Jewellery


Product Description:

We live in the middle of 70 acres in Northwest Arkansas and these lovely butterflies flutter around our herb garden all summer. Their favorite host plants for their young is any member of the fennel family. We make sure that we have fennel in our garden just for the catapillars to munch on. They are such gorgeous butterflies that I had to try and create one to remind me of the beauty they give us every year!




This lovely butterfly pin is created with more than 1500 beads!


The wings are made with delica beads and black wire.
The body contains czech glass beads, labradorite, and jet beads.

This butterfly measures 3 1/2 inches wide by 3 inches long!
