The average butterfly only lives between 1 and 4 weeks, but Audrey Botha has found a way to immortalize them. The butterflies used in her collection are sourced from farming projects all over the world and are bred in a sustainable manner. By purchasing jewelry from Papillon Belle, you are not only helping the environment, you are also providing employment for the families in third world countries who breed and raise these delicate creatures. Love that.

I’ve been following Lisa Golightly’s work and career for some time now, and her latest series – the floodline – is just as exceptional as the rest. In it she experiments with cold press watercolor paper, acrylic paint and fabric dye and ends up with lovely abstract results.
