Handpainted and Embroidered Fabric Earrings - Red Admiral Butterfly by Vikki Lafford Garside

The intricate detail of this fascinating insect is captured in this pair of earrings, showing the striking colour of this scarlet, black and white butterfly. The earrings are made from layers of fabric, embroidered and painted to achieve colour and exquisite detail. The earrings come presented in a gift box. They are hung from sterling silver posts.

Essential info: Made from faux suede and cotton organdie with wire antennae, embroidered and hand-painted. Due to the hand-crafted nature of the earrings, some very slight variations may occur. It is quite flexible and robust and some bending of the wings is natural during wear. The wings can easily be reshaped by hand, either by flattening or by squeezing the top wings together to enhance the three-dimensional look. To keep the earrings in good condition, avoid submerging in water and subjecting to high temperatures or prolonged periods of direct sunlight.

Materials: fabric, sterling silver

Size: W: 3.2cm, H: 6.8cm
