The Weight That Gives Us Wings - Handmade Leather Purse, Heat-Shaped Butterflies

Some of the things that open our wings are heavy.

Just as heat shaped these butterflies, hardship shapes us too. Not to crush our wings, but to open them.

This purse carries that idea in leather. Each butterfly was formed under heat, one by one, the same way we are formed - slowly, under pressure we didn't choose. The weights we carry are sometimes what give us wings.
