Covey - A 3x3" white-framed composition featuring one (1) preserved real grouse foot and one (1) real butterfly nestled amongst delicate dried florals. Resting against sumptuous black velvet, each specimen is transformed into a tiny cabinet of curiosities; where woodland wanderings and quiet wonder meet beneath glass.

Equal parts playful and poetic, the piece pairs the untamed charm of the forest with the delicate grace of a butterfly, celebrating nature's fleeting beauty through careful preservation. The striking contrast of the crisp white frame and rich black velvet lends the composition a timeless elegance, creating a miniature keepsake that feels as though it were gathered from the pocket of a Victorian naturalist after an afternoon spent rambling through wild meadows.
