Always with You

Green, The inspiration for this sculpture came to me from a customer named Susan, from Iowa City, Iowa. Susan's sister had lost her battle with breast cancer many years ago. Her niece was only eleven when her mother passed away. Susan has a thing about butterflies, as many people do and believes they represent both life and death in their journey from a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly. Susan wanted a butterfly incorporated into a design with a small child. The angel watching over the little girl may represent something different for every viewer. It is so fitting that this design will help raise significant funds for our local chapter of the Susan G. Komen Race-for-the-Cure. Thank you, Susan, for your inspiration! Inspirational message included with sculpture:
A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam, and for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world. But then it flies on again, and though we wish it could have stayed, we felt so lucky to have seen it.   Height:  9"   Weight:  3 lbs.
