Celtic Butterfly Knot Of Metamorphosis-Life Transition Symbol-Celebrating Soul Journey Wall Hanging Animal Totem

MEANING: Butterfly's metamorphosis takes her whole life & is so extreme that the beginning (egg) is unrecognizable from middle (cocoon) & the end. Throughout the transformation, she unquestioningly embraces the changes in her life. She beckons us to 'Keep the Faith' understanding that our fretting & anger are useless against the turning tides of nature. This accepting attitude is reflected not only in the physical realm, but in the spiritual as well. We are on a journey of the soul encountering turns & shifts & changing conditions, the only surety is the journey itself! Make your way in faith knowing that change is necessary for growth, accept the change that comes & at the end, we are ever finer beings of light & love. So remember to Embrace the Grace & Eloquence of Butterfly, Celebrate the changes, Let your Soul Dance lightly upon the Wind, & spread your beautiful Wings & Fly!

Each carving begins as a 1 X 12 inch cedar board. While we use power tools (Scroll Saw, Rotary shaft Tool, handheld detail sanders etc.), we use no laser's, CNC machines or computer operated cutting machines. All work is done with our hands & eyes... We cut the 2 dimensional blanks with scroll & jig saws (double-sized custom orders have to be cut with jigsaw). Carving is done with rotary shaft tools & disc grinders. The 80 grit sanding is the final phase of the carving process, removing the nicks & gouges from the carving tools, & finishes the shaping of the weave. The next 2 sandings with 120 then 220 grit finishes the smoothing & polishing. They are finished with Clear Danish Oil to seal the piece, bringing out the grain & the color.
