Inspirational Butterfly Metal Wall Art Statue

This Inspirational Butterfly Statue was made with durable high grade metal iron and with vivid “non-toxic” painting, with an emphasis on quality and attention to detail, it’s very special, unique and original. Nature inspired colorful butterfly wall art, good ideal design for indoor and outdoor decorate. The colorful patterns on many Butterfly Wings tell potential predators that they are toxic. Hence, the genetic basis of wing pattern formation can illuminate both the evolution of butterflies as well as their developmental biology. The color of butterfly wings is derived from tiny structures called scales, each of which have their own pigments. In Heliconius Butterflies, there are 3 types of scales: yellow/white, black, and red/orange/brown scales. Some mechanism of wing pattern formation are now being solved using genetic techniques. For instance, a gene called cortex determines the color of scales, deleting cortex turned black and red scales yellow. Mutations, e.g. transposon insertions of the non-coding DNA around the cortex gene can turn a black-winged butterfly into a butterfly with a yellow wing band. Inspirational Butterfly Metal Wall Art Statue measures: 12.6 inches/ 32 cm x 1.8 inches/ 4.5 cm x 12.6 inches/ 32 cm.

Blue Butterfly Girl Statue

An handmade Butterfly Girl Statue, hand-polished technology, fine workmanship, chic shape, high-quality butterfly, realistic and creative home ornament feeling, to bring a pop of color to your home. This Butterfly Girl is hand-carved and finished, with the use of natural resin materials, semi-handmade. The artistic conception of sculpture-childhood, chasing butterflies, dreamy and childlike, satisfy the innocence and recall the past to create a sense of care for the soul. Butterflies are insects in the Macrolepidopteran Clade Rhopalocera from the order Lepidoptera, which also includes moths. Adult butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight. The group comprises the large superfamily Papilionoidea, which contains at least one former group, the skippers (formerly the superfamily “Hesperioidea“), and the most recent analyses suggest it also contains the moth-butterflies (formerly the superfamily “Hedyloidea“). Butterfly fossils date to the Paleocene, about 56 million years ago. Butterflies have appeared in art from 3500 years ago in Ancient Egypt.

In the ancient Mesoamerican city of Teotihuacan, the brilliantly coloured image of the butterfly was carved into many temples, buildings, jewellery, and emblazoned on incense burners. The butterfly was sometimes depicted with the maw of a jaguar, and some species were considered to be the reincarnations of the souls of dead warriors. The close association of butterflies with fire and warfare persisted into the Aztec civilisation, infact, evidence of similar jaguar-butterfly images has been found among the Zapotec and Maya civilisations. Butterflies are widely used in objects of art and jewellery, mounted in frames, embedded in resin, displayed in bottles, laminated in paper, and used in some mixed media artworks and furnishings. The Norwegian naturalist Kjell Sandved compiled a photographic Butterfly Alphabet containing all 26 letters and the numerals 0 to 9 from the wings of butterflies. Sir John Tenniel drew a famous illustration of Alice meeting a caterpillar for Lewis Carroll‘s Alice in Wonderland (1865).

The caterpillar is seated on a toadstool and is smoking a hookah, the image can be read as showing either the forelegs of the larva, or as suggesting a face with protruding nose and chin. Eric Carle‘s children’s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar portrays the larva as an extraordinarily hungry animal, while also teaching children how to count (to 5) and the days of the week. A Butterfly appeared in one of Rudyard Kipling‘s Just So Stories, “The Butterfly that Stamped“. One of the most popular, and most often recorded, songs by Sweden’s eighteenth-century bard, Carl Michael Bellman, is “Fjäriln vingad syns på Haga” (The butterfly wingèd is seen in Haga), one of his Fredman‘s Songs. Madam Butterfly is a 1904 opera by Giacomo Puccini about a romantic young Japanese bride who is deserted by her American officer husband soon after they are married. It was based on John Luther Long‘s short story written in 1898. Blue Butterfly Girl Statue measures: 6.9 inches / 17.5 cm x 4.35 inches / 11 cm x 11 inches / 28 cm.

Fairy playing with Butterfly on Tree Statue

This Fairy with Butterfly Statue is hand-painted in bronze finish to give a high-quality antique look without sacrificing the details, fully embodies Rebirth and Transformation, along with Beauty and Innocence. The Fairy, is a classification of magical beings from European folklore. The term “fairy” has an ancient etymology. Originating from the Proto-Indo-European “bha-,” meaning “to speak, tell, or say“, it later developed into the Latin “fata,” meaning “the destiny“. From the Latin developed the Old French terms “fae“, meaning “fairy“, and “faerie“, meaning “land of fairies, meeting of fairies, enchantment, magic, witchcraft, and sorcery“. From the Old French developed the Middle English term “fairie“, meaning “the country or home of supernatural or legendary creatures, fairyland” and “something incredible or fictitious“. From the Middle English developed the modern term “fairy“, meaning, “a mythical being of folklore and romance usually having diminutive human form and magic powers”, or, “of or relating to fairies”. In modern times, the terms “fairie, faerie, fae, or fay“, can all be used in place of “fairy” to describe fairies.

The views concerning Fairies has morphed and developed over time and by region. In early, pre-Christian Europe these beings likely originated as lesser spirits or deities. As Christianity spread, these beings were demoted to either being a race that lived parallel to humanity, or to demonic entities. Post-enlightenment, belief in fairies dramatically decreased. Even so, belief in fairies still lingers in small isolated communities and in the modern New Age and Neo-Pagan movements that gained popularity in the Anglophone world beginning in the 1960‘s. Fairies have taken a wide variety of forms within European folklore and literature. Some fairies were beautiful and graceful. Others were hideous to look upon. Others still, a mix of traits. In modern times the term fairy is most commonly used to describe beautiful, feminine-looking fairies that tend to have the wings of a butterfly or other flying insect, while other beings traditionally thought of as types of fairies that don’t match this description tend to go by more specific names.

Butterfly with Sparkling Solar Sphere Statue

This gorgeous Butterfly with Sparkling Solar Ball Garden Statue will make a lovely focal point in your garden day and night! The beautiful blue glass ball sparkles in the Sun during the day and automatically glows with solar-powered light at night. It sits atop a pedestal base accented with a colorful butterfly and a flowering vine. Every day, the sun radiates (sends out) an enormous amount of energy. It radiates more energy each day than the world uses in one year. Solar energy is a renewable energy source. The sun’s energy comes from within the Sun itself. Like most stars, the Sun is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium atoms in a plasma state. The Sun generates energy from a process called nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, the high pressure and temperature in the Sun’s core cause nuclei to separate from their electrons. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form one Helium atom. During the fusion process, radiant energy is released. It can take 150,000 years for energy in the Sun’s core to make its way to the solar surface, and then just a little over 8 minutes to travel the 93 million miles to Earth.

The radiant energy travels to the Earth at a speed of 186,000 miles per second / 300,000 kilometers per second, the speed of light. Only a small portion of the energy radiated by the Sun into space strikes the Earth, one part in two billion. Yet this amount of energy is enormous. The Sun provides more energy in an hour than the United States can use in a year. About 30 percent of the radiant energy that reaches the Earth is reflected back into space. About half of the radiant energy is absorbed by land and oceans. The rest is absorbed by the atmosphere and clouds in the greenhouse effect. In addition to supplying a large amount of energy directly, the Sun is also the source for many different forms of energy. Solar energy powers the water cycle, allowing us to harness the energy of moving water. Solar energy drives wind formation, allowing us to use wind turbines to transform kinetic energy into electricity. Plants use solar energy in the process of photosynthesis. Biomass can trace its energy source back to the sun. Even fossil fuels originally received their energy from the sun. Butterfly with Sparkling Solar Sphere Statue measures: 6 inches / 15 cm x 5 inches / 13 cm x 13 inches / 33 cm.

Fairy of the Glen Statue, Animals, Butterflies & Fairies Statues, Fairy of the Glen with Butterfly Wings Statue

Fairy of the Glen with Butterfly Wings Statue

Fairy of the Glen Statue hand-cast using real crushed stone bonded with high quality designer resin. Alighting from a dream, a gentle fairy settles her wide butterfly wings, created of 50 individually hand-cutpiece of shimmering, copper-foiled art glass, to cast a soft glow in your home. The “Fairy Glen” is a unique and unusual landscape, a geological wonder on the Isle of Skye. It is situated between the villages of Sheader and Balnacnoc. On the West side of Trotternish at Balnacnoc above Uig, is the Fairy Glen, a Quirang-like landslip in miniature. The road winds around small round-topped grassy hills with lochans (ponds) in between which gives the glen an otherworldly feel. Skye has a long history involving the Fairys, most of which is related to Dunvegan Castle and their “Fairy Flag“. The Fairy Glen (much like the Fairy Pools in Glenbrittle) has no real legends or stories involving fairys that can be traced. For simple fact that the location is unusual so it has been given the nickname Fairy Glen. One of the hills still has its basalt topping intact which, from a distance, looks like a ruin and has been called Castle Ewan. In the low cliff behind Castle Ewan there is a very small cave where it has been said pressing coins into cracks in the rock will bring Good Luck. Fairy of the Glen with Butterfly Wings Statue sizes: 6.5 inches / 16.5 cm x 10.5 inches / 26.5 cm x 14.5 inches / 37 cm.
