The Shape of Becoming
9 x 12 inches (22.9 x 30.5 cm)
The Shape of Becoming is an original butterfly mixed media artwork created with layered fabric collage, beaded eye-spot accents, and Swarovski crystals on cradled birch panel. Part of the Floral and Botanical Collection, this richly textured piece weaves together luminous color, intricate detail, and tactile depth — a butterfly caught mid-transformation against a field of vintage paper.
A large butterfly spreads its fanned, patchwork wings across the panel, each wing pieced from radiating strips of teal, orange, purple, red, and gold patterned fabric. A leopard-print brown body rises at the center, its slender antennae curving upward in dark beaded wire. Along each wing, an oval eye-spot outlined in delicate blue seed beading holds a glinting glass cabochon center, while scattered Swarovski crystals trace the wing edges, catching the light against a background of vintage script, sheet music, and postmark-stamped paper collage.
The Shape of Becoming is a celebration of transformation — of wings unfolding into something entirely new. This is a piece for the collector who wants a home filled not just with art, but with feeling. This piece is part of the Floral and Botanical Collection.
