Butterfly Rain Chain

Where do butterflies disappear to when blue skies suddenly turn gray? Most take shelter under woodpiles, tall grass, or tree branches, but this storm-seeking quintet cannot wait to get drenched. Maker Catherine Murphy’s hand-cast rain chain is composed of strategically placed copper creatures rather than interlocking links. With outstretched wings, each butterfly creates a path for rainwater, carrying a gently flowing cascade that is as lovely to watch as it is to hear. Handmade in Asheville, North Carolina.
