This piece also reflects my retirement and new journey into being a full time artist. I took a butterfly wing and placed it under glass. It is all sterling silver.

 

Collecting feathers and butterfly wings when I'm on a run is always fun, and makes a good excuse to stop.

 

Not a good photo, but it shows how I select the right feather to use and then starts the process of creating a new piece. These are some of the feathers that my wonderful sister in law sends me from her 3 parrots.
