Day 5 "Broken Wings"

Happy Labor Day! I took a detour from the book's suggestion today to create a necklace that I have been thinking about since I decided on my theme. I found this butterfly on the floor of my garage. It looked whole, but when I lifted it up one of the wings fell off. The color of the butterfly was beautiful against the gray concrete and it looked so pristine until I inspected it closer. I think this is similar to how we view life, other people's life looks so glorious, but when you look at it closely it still has flaws. I decided to turn the wing into a necklace as a reminder to myself about how my creative journey over the next year may reveal my own flaws and beauty.
