Description This was a joined effort between myself and my momma. She took a stained glass class last summer and has been in love with it since. I designed the wings and she breathed life into them. Then I was a pain in the ass who asked if she could add the beads and wire.

The body itself was bought off of ebay, not sure where it originated from. The glass was bought at a local stained glass shop and the owner couldn't find a match to it in his catalogs, so we got his one and only piece. ^_^

Oh... The wings were inspired by a lunar moth. I know they're not the color of a lunar moth AT ALL or the same shape... But that's why I say it was inspiration.

My mother actually sells them, though there will never be one like this but variations can be made.

The wing sections and the swirl in the glass did work out marvelously. More so than I expected.
