Inspiration:

I remember my grandmother, sitting on her porch swing, telling me how angels toss down pennies from heaven to remind you that you are loved and watched over by something much larger than yourself. I used pennies that were touched by many hands to create my butterfly. The many people touching the pennies are like those touching the lives of those in need. The patina of the pennies shows the touch and generosity of so many.
