Nature's Palette

I haven't done one of these for ages. This collection from Folksy.com was inspired by the photo of the Peacock Butterfly that I found on Folksy by accident. But the colours were so perfect, I thought I'd make a Folksy Finds Pinterest board around it. Click on the pic to visit the shop for more info.

Purple Butterfly Slate Garden Decoration

Purple Butterfly Slate Garden Decoration

I've adapted part of the Butterfly Bird Bath design to use it as a mosaic decoration on this purple slate paddlestone. These paddlestones are great as they are usually slightly slanted so the iridescent tiles used for the butterfly's wings catch the light and shine with metallic magenta, blue and gold. The circle is made with a pale lavender / lilac tile to compliment the slate and the butterfly.

It's a lovely garden ornament that can be used all year round, but it would also make a lovely ornament for the home too. Or even a fancy paperweight for a desk.
