This is absolutely gorgeous! I've always loved butterflies and the color blue, and you combined them in such a wonderful way :heart: Also, I've been looking at your gallery, and I have to say, both your art and beadwork are amazing and detailed and creative. Keep up all the wonderful work :D

Also, congrats on that DD! :)

Thank you! These were fun. I'm normally not the flowers and butterfly type, but I do enjoy to wear this bracelet.
