Here is a delicate
little butterfly all dressed up. She has on her party dress and is going to "The Butterfly Ball".
The dress is a heart shape filled with steam punk gears, cogs, wheels,
vintage watch movement pieces, a dial, and more.
When my daughter was young and watched Sesame Street, I always ran to the TV when they aired the song "The Butterfly Ball".
Later
I learned that "The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper's
Feast" is a concept album by Roger Glover and subsequent live rock opera
appearing in 1974 and 1975 respectively, based on the children's book of
the same title.

I just have to show off this piece. How it came out of my mind, I don't know. It is far more elaborate and even more steampunk than I usually create; but, I thought it was interesting enough that I sent it off to Stampington's Magazines to see if they wanted to put it in one of their issues. They did! It appeared in the Fall issue of Jewelry Affaire on page 13. I was just tickled pink! I would love to know what you think of it, too.
