'Happiness is a Butterfly which when pursued is always beyond your grasp, but if you will sit down quietly may alight upon you'
This is another design from my collection of circular pieces inspired by my Nannys love of butterflies. I remember as a child a pair of beautiful ceramic butterflies that my Nanny inherited from her Aunty and had pinned to her curtains. I loved them as they looked as though they had flown there and were just resting a while.
I love all the different butterfly names in English and French.
Purple Emperor - Grand Mars changeant
Painted Lady - Belle-dame
Red Admiral - Vulcain
Swallowtail - Machar
Peacock Butterfly - Paon du jour
Speckled Wood - Belle dame
SmallTortoiseshell - Paon du jour
