Description
New to the Mooshkin danglers family is the butterfly dangler, a stunning and eye-catching sun catcher featuring handmade butterflies, Czech crystals and a selection of glass, metal and acrylic beads.
Each butterfly is handmade using lengths of polymer clay twisted and rolled together to make a very pleasing marbled pattern. The butterflies have antennae made of beads and wire, and wings made of acetate painted in shades of deep blue and purple transparent glass paint for an intense, clear colour. Each butterfly’s body and wings are dusted with fine iridescent glitter to help it catch the sunlight.
Each butterfly dangler has three butterflies and four clusters of sunlight-catching Czech crystal, glass, metal and acrylic beads. My butterfly danglers are weighted at the bottom with either a large crystal, a brass bell, an arrangement of beads or an arrangement of lucite leaves and flowers.
Due to its metal parts (bead eyes, wire, etc) the butterfly dangler is not really suitable for outdoor use, as the metal will rust. But you could hang one from the underside of a sheltered area of your garden where it won’t get rained on. For best effect, though, just hang them inside a window that gets a lot of sun, and enjoy the colours and sparkle!
Each butterfly dangler is unique – no two are identical. When you order, I’ll pick one at random for you so you’ll get a nice surprise. However, if you have a specific request regarding the colour scheme and/or the pendant, please do get in touch as I may be able to custom-make one for you.
Butterfly danglers are not toys. Due to small parts and sharp wire, they are not suitable for handling by small children. While they’ll look great hanging at a child’s bedroom window, please make sure the butterfly dangler is kept well out of the child’s reach.
