Butterflies are some of the most beautiful, graceful things on the planet. And I love to make them, paint them, draw them and of course forge them. I’m always happy when working on them. It goes back to my grandmother – and how her memory is preserved for me.
When I craft them, I always feel like I’m holding a small piece of her in my hands. It’s kind of the driving force for me when it comes to creating them. I always get to remember her – and these help her remain in my life in a special way. And when you get one of my butterflies – you’ll have a little piece of her too.
There’s a painting of her at the bottom of this page…
Any of these can be made custom for you. Each one is individual and unique in some way. Nothing is mass produced or “cookie cutter”. Each one is hand cut, textured and finished by me. There will be no stamped out butterflies coming from my shop. It’s the only way I’ll have it.

Here is a little watercolor painting of Grandma in the garden. Each of her 5 children are represented in various places. I leave it up to them to figure out who is who… It’s how I like to remember her. She was a big influence all around. A gentle soul, and most like a butterfly, to me anyway…
