Day Night Psychedelic Butterfly Patch

For the Water Goddess — the one who watches the sky change color and calls it an event.

A butterfly split down the middle: day on one wing, night on the other, the colors bleeding into each other the way a good hand-dye does. Three and a half inches square, with an iron-on backing.

Center it on the back of a jacket where the symmetry can do its work, or set it off-center on a tote bag and let it look accidental. Butterflies earn their place on clothing — they are the only creature whose entire biography is about becoming something else.
