The Butterfly Babe

I started collecting butterflies at the age of 14, after becoming a double amputee on both my feet. Nature became my world as I cloaked myself in it to remove myself from the negative thoughts, sadness and pain I felt after enduring such a tragedy. I began making jewelry with the insects I collected as a hobby. But when I received such positive feedback from friends and family a door opened and \"TheButterflyBabe\" began. I spent hours researching better techniques for preserving butterflies, Learning how to pin, mount, resin, and many other techniques I use today. From such darkness I have found so much positivity and light.
