~*~*~Indigo~*~*~
An indigo scene of a meadow at dawn--moon still in the sky, flowers opening with the fresh dew, winged beings awakening from their slumber in search of nectar. A moment that fills the soul with imaginative, expansive light. An instant that reminds you that you are alive on this marvelous Earth, here for a moment in this ancient wondrous world. What will you do with this one precious life?
This vintage frame was hand-selected and re-purposed by me. All plants and wings are glued directly onto indigo glass that I hand-cut and grinded, and then covered with a sheet of clear glass for protection and shine. Can be easily hung, perfect to bless an entryway, altar space, creative corner, or any intentional space in your home.
This piece contains fern, lavender, chamomile, German statice, yellow rose, sweet vernal grass, chinese bushclover, goldleaf, and the wings of an unknown species of butterfly from the Colombian Andes mountains, found after naturally passing from a storm on my grandmother's farm.
This butterfly was found on my grandmother's farm in the Colombian Andes after a storm, passed away from natural causes. All creatures used in my art were collected after passing away naturally, and are now honored and cherished forever.

~Each piece that I make is created in an intentional, devotional space. I sit with the plants and create whatever my inner vision directs me to. This is my sacred practice, and it is suffused with magic and love!~

Not for outdoor placement, keep indoors to avoid water damage.-
Best to keep away from direct sunlight, as the plants will fade over time if placed in a window! The fading of plants is natural and does not take away from their beauty, but rather reminds us of the constant change in life. If you are okay with this, then a window is fine. But keep in mind--the colors will stay forever if kept away from direct strong light.
