My children found this deceased half monarch butterfly on one of our family walks and I knew immediately what I wanted to do with it! On the other side to symbolize the other beautiful half is a yellow dahlia. Monarchs are often regarded as a symbol of transformation or change which is embodied in this piece.
This 4x4" block would look great on a desk or decorative shelf for anyone looking for hope in the darkness. Even if you see the beauty in all life, sometimes you need a reminder of how bright it can be!
