butterfly fabric

It’s the end of the summer in many places around the Northern Hemisphere, harvest time of course, and the last chance to enjoy the graceful flight of butterflies until next spring brings back warmth and new beginnings in nature. We want to dedicate today’s post to these most delicate insects, which are an absolute visual delight, and sort of the quintessence of winged sophistication. Of course, we love to watch them in person when possible, in nature or in a butterfly house. If you have never been to one of these, don’t wait any longer! Try to visit one as soon as you can!

But any type of artwork featuring butterflies will do the trick when you’re not able to see them in person! Fortunately, they are widely used in artistic and creative depictions, and can be found in many different cute items around us. For instance, there are diverse butterfly products in our kawaii online shop: you can find fabrics with butterfly designs by many of our world-class providers, like Timeless Treasures, Alexander Henry, Michael Miller, Elizabeth Studio, Dear Stella, Cotton and Steel, Quilting Treasures, Ink & Arrow etc. But there are also butterflies on many of our cute stationary, like washi tapes and stickers!

Besides being an endless source of inspiration for visual artists, and a lesson on beauty for anyone able to see them, butterflies have long been a symbol of the soul in different cultures, as well as a universal symbol of transformation and rebirth. Hopefully, provided their natural habitats are preserved, they will keep on embodying these deep meanings, and being a source of joy and delight for us all!
