Grief Butterfly Enamel Pin & Postcard

Soft enamel pin with rubber back, stamped with "@from_the_clay" on the back.
I designed this beautiful butterfly with some glitter at the end of the wings you can see in the photos and video, because of a illustration I heard about grief-
the illustration will be printed on a postcard and sent with each purchase of the butterfly pin. you can see the postcard in the photo above.

illustration:
Grief can be like Glitter,
when you first open it it’s everywhere,
it’s all over you.
you clean it up as best you can,
but it’s messy and unpredictable.
but then, as time goes on, randomly
you’ll find a little glitter out of nowhere
you look in the mirror one day,
and there is a little bit of glitter
months later You open a drawer,
there’s a little piece of glitter.
a year later you pull out your sweater,
and there is, some glitter.
it can pop up when you least expect it.
glitter reminds us that grieving isn’t bad,
but now and again these feelings will come up,
out of nowhere,
and that’s ok.
these butterflies have a tiny edge of glitter on them,
butterflies are delicate but strong.
they can fly with up to 70% of its wing missing,
an amazing example of endurance despite difficulty.
the butterfly with its glitter sum up
how one might be
getting through each day
one at a time.

I hope you love this pin as much as I do, pin to your bag or your coat for a beautiful reminder. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
