These are the Butterfly and Snake Medicine Specimens before I added the jump rings and chains. The Butterfly Specimens are made from a collection of vintage butterflies I bought on Etsy...and the Snake Specimens are made from the snake shed of my friend Viva's Boa, Morpheus!

I made two prototypes using small vials, but Heather opted for the larger ones. Soooo...I'm going to do a Give-Away! Leave me a comment...and I'll draw the names of 2 lucky people and list the winners next Sunday! Don't be shy...you might win! Good Luck! xo Lavona
