Mariposa Azul
These butterflies are made from very durable synthetic hemp that is water resistant. They are embellished with embedded semi-precious stones. Each one is unique due to the variety of colors and shapes. They can be use to make a necklace, bracelet, ankle bracelet, or earrings.
I am Graciela Delgado and I have been making these butterflies ever since a hippy friend of mine taught me how. I learned a lot about Bolivian butterflies in the Güenbe Biocenter in Santa Cruz and started to develop a greater variety of colors and shapes. Now each of my butterflies is unique and they represent the wide variety of butterflies that live in Bolivia.
The only thing I want is to have a little house where I can care for my children. I used to travel a lot, but now with two school age children, and no daddy to help me, I need a stable life. Ayni Bolivia gave me that opportunity and I hope to make a living this way. I just need more orders to give me complete stability.
