Butterfly takes flight...

Considering I have been making these Edgy, hardcore butterflies
which represent the notion of femme fatale- strong women...



I decided to use ribbon as opposed to chain to attach
these butterflies to the body. I felt the chain was too heavy looking
I wanted to give the impression of butterflies in flight, thus I
used a softer, lighter looking material- ribbon...

I felt that as I already had the harder,edgy feel of the piece with
the use of the blackening I needed to use a more feminine colour.

What's more feminine than pink?
I added a pink stone to the center of the butterfly too in order to
balance it with the ribbon.
