Fossilfly - blush
12” wide x 9” tall.
Butterflies are symbols of life, endurance, change, and hope. In many cultures, people associate butterflies with souls. However you view the lovely creatures that populate the family Papilionoidea, they add color and effervescence to our lives. The fossilfly is especially unique among its peers because its thorax, abdomen, and head are made of a single orthoceras fossil. This fossil dates to the Ordovician period, some 400 million years ago. It is the ancestor to the modern day squid. To further gild the lily, I made the interior portions of the wings out of an extraordinary mouth blown glass from the Fremont Glass Company. This glass blowing duo produces a very limited amount of glass and it is quite difficult to get your hands on some. While the fossilfly looks spectacular alone, imagine a whole kaleidoscope (a group of butterflies) gracing your windows. Made with high quality materials and handmade glass made in the USA. One of a kind and created by hand in Houston, Texas. A mix of translucent, opaque, and mottled glass encased in solder. Silver solder. Measures 12” wide x 9” tall. Polished.
