Butterflies and Insects

The wonderful sights and sounds of insects are built into our lives as they inspire many aspects of art and craft works. Metal trinket boxes and spoons embellished with bees, dragonflies and butterflies by Quirky Metals and Glover and Smith. Fabrics are the forte of Vikki Lafford Garside with her embroidered brooches featuring native and rare breed butterflies. Stunning ceramic pendants from And Mary and silver and gold charm necklaces from Lime Tree Designs are the ultimate way to wear your favourite butterfly or insect. Annie Sherburne uses vintage and semi-precious minerals for her brooches and earrings, sparkling with life. For something different tiny beeswax candles by Cotton & Grey make thoughtful presents, All in all what better way to be reminded of the essential part bees and butterflies play in earths eco-systems.
