“Wings of Memory: A Butterfly Tribute in Ceramic”

Some pieces feel like they guide your hands—and this was one of them.

This butterfly memorial tile was inspired by the universal symbol of transformation, hope, and the quiet beauty of letting go. Framed by delicate leaves and accented with dotted beadwork, it represents the flight of a soul and the roots of love that never fade. The soft crackle background gives it a timeless, antique texture—like a memory that’s weathered, but never lost.

I created this piece for someone who wanted to honor their loved one’s colorful spirit. Each wing holds soft shades of pink, yellow, and blue, framed in deep black lines, reminding us that even in grief, color remains. That beauty doesn’t disappear—it just changes form.
