Does it look like a butterfly? Turned the beaded fish on its side and created its mirror image - the result looks like a butterfly to me!

Three generations


My mother came to visit after 12 years! We had a wonderful time together visiting, having breakfasts with Andrea and Cory, and going to the play, Buried Child by Sam Shepard. We all really enjoyed the play and afterward met the cast members and a friend took this picture of the three of us. My mom is 80 years old and still young at heart!

I recently completed this mirror as a wedding present for a young couple. The bride, a beautiful redhead, loves earth tones and natural colors, so that was my inspiration. I gathered up what I could find in rusty colors of beads, shells, tiles, glass, jewelry, and pottery. Other than that, I didn't really have a plan, and just created it as I went. What fun these are to make!
