According to Native-American lore, when the Butterfly sheds her caterpillar skin and spreads her beautiful new wings, life begins anew. And if you tell a secret wish to her, she will carry it into the heavens in perfect silence, where the Great Spirit alone can hear your heartfelt thoughts. Inspired by these lovely legends of the Butterfly—and also by the magnificent stained glass of Louis Comfort Tiffany—artist Judy Meyeraan has designed these Spirit of the Butterfly Dance ornaments. Each graceful, Native-American style figure has transparent wings in the most dramatic “stained glass” patterns and colours. And every one of them reminds us of the brilliant beauty and spiritual quality of butterflies in our own world. From the edges of their gleaming, transparent wings to the drama of their fanciful, Native-American style costuming, these “butterfly dancers” are a unique expression of the human spirit itself. Each dancer is gracefully sculpted in resin, then hand-painted and hand-decorated to highlight the sculpted jewelry, “beadwork” and “fringe” of each figure. The closer you look, the more magnificent details you’ll find! Let the Spirit of the Butterfly Dance brighten your world in a very special way, every time they catch the light...and catch your eye. They’ll lift your spirits during the holidays and are perfect for display all year long. Set Two includes “Hear the Ancient Rhythms," “The Sky Spirit Quest” and “Gift of the Corn God.” Ornaments range in size from 4¼" to 5¼" high. ©2004 The Ashton-Drake Galleries
