Butterflies

Wall decoration, set of three

Butterflies or snowflakes?

Fljúga hvítu fiðrildin 
fyrir utan glugga; 
þarna siglir einhver inn 
ofurlítil dugga.

Most Icelanders know this old nursery rhyme by Sveinbjörn Egilsson. It tells of summer and white butterflies fluttering in front of a window, and of a small boat coming safely to shore. But some say it alludes to winter and gentle snowfall, and a single snowflake drifting in through an open window.

When you place the butterfly on the wall choose a spot whit where the lights hits it - creating a beautiful dreamlike reflection and shadow for the butterfly to come alive.
