Butterfly Burl

Butterfly Burl can be found local and attracts butterflies and other insects, as the water gets trapped in the holes in the burl cap, bit like a butterfly bush but for water. Not all burls have those volcanic looking points with holes in the top. The butterflies are made from Pear by turning a very shallow bowl 3/32" then cutting out the forms. The antenna, legs and stem holding the orange one are spring steel.
Pierced, pyro, textured, and airbrushed, stands approx. 9” to the highest point.
