Large flowing scales erupt from the center of this butterfly to the upper wingtips. The scales are defined with gold glitter along the edges. Meanwhile, the lower portion of the wings are saturated with the natural hues of capiz shells, only broken by the decorative pattern on top of it. The butterfly's neutral tones allow it to fit within any color scheme and the textures create strong visual interest.

Construction:
The basic frame of this piece is created using tin, which is powder coated with a black finish. The frame is reinforced using tin wire along the inner edge. The front of the body is adorned with capiz. Capiz is an oyster shell and the primary purpose of the oyster is as a source of food. However, the by-product, the shell, can be used for decoration. Due to it being a natural material, the natural colors of the capiz may come through as tans and browns underneath the hand-painted surface.
