Large Butterly earrings, hand-woven by the indingeous women we work with in Colombia.
The technique applied to these butterflies is traditional, however the shape, color and use of the butterflies is of a contemporary one. Bagabagas are an example of the young indigenous peoples exploring between traditional weavings in contemporary designs. Makes these butterflies very meaningful to the evolution of traditional practices in a contemporary world.
Butterflies are woven with thread and seed beads.
Inspired and deisgned after the REAL butterflies species like the Morpho (teal/turquoise, black and gold), Purple Emperor (purple), Monarchs (Orange, black and white) and White Peacock ( Cream, Purple and gold accents)
