This installment of wearable nature is all about butterfly season with real monarch butterfly necklaces! When butterflies die, I think it's okay to use their body parts and wings to create jewelry, art, and display pieces.  In fact, I think they'd insist!  Reason being, like the Native Americans, butterflies (and fairies) believe in using all parts of nature, inside and out.  They are true believers of the waste-free living movement!

To be clear, I would never advocate freezing butterflies, which I've unfortunately heard of people doing.  It's cruel and unnatural.  After death, however, is perfectly okay to work with them.  In a way, by using their butterfly wings by way of a natural find, you're helping them to live on.

Whenever you're going through a transformative time in your life, be sure to welcome the butterflies with a bold statement.  You can do this with real butterfly jewelry and accessories.  This also pleases the Butterfly Maiden, a goddess of the Hopi Native American Tribe.  You call on her for all changes, makeovers, and transformations in your life.

I found these beautiful butterfly wearable nature accessories on Etsy.  By the way, everything in my wearable nature feature is basically one big Etsy wishlist so enjoy!
