Merian
It’s all about the butterflies and Anna Maria Sibylla Merian from Germany was known for her illustrations of butterflies and plants, she was also the first to discover and document in the 17th century that butterflies had a life cycle. She was known as the butterfly woman, hence the name Merian. Each of these is created by hand using tiny organza wings fused together with rhinestones and stamens.
***SIZE***
Measuring cm/” in height, from top to bottom, perfect for anybody looking to turn some heads!
H-30cm top to bottom of trimming
W-31cm side to side
The masks are held on the face by an elastic tape, which is worn around to the back of the head and can be hidden beneath your hair (my preferred way). This mask is lightweight and easily positioned and secured at your most comfortable position on your nose!
I hope you enjoy wearing it as much as I enjoyed making it!
