A fallen blossom returning to the bough, I thought -- but no, a butterfly. Arakida Moritake

{HISTORY}

Delicate, simple, and elegant, this beautiful suncatcher contains a collection of seed heads from a milkweed plant that has been suspended in glass for permanent viewing.

Attracting butterflies and other important pollinators, milkweeds are essential to the natural landscape in order to have a thriving community of winged wonders. When the flowers go to seed, they form rough brown pods that slowly split open. Eventually, out float these fragile, hair-like white wisps. Their sole purpose is to be carried on the breeze so that eventually they will come to rest in a spot of dirt and grow into a new plant. And then there, the cycle starts afresh. The more plants, the more butterflies! 

Handmade and ensconced in glass and a thin ring of forged copper, this suncatcher not only reflects the fragile beauty of nature but also reminds us of the seasonality of life and the impact we each can make upon the world. Whether you are learning a new recipe, experimenting with a new cooking technique, or growing your own food, this light, bright suncatcher subtly suggests that many great things can spring from one single contribution. 

Hang it in a window and watch it catch the light. Hang it on a wall and watch it fill your kitchen with inspiration.
