It took me awhile, but I finally finished my rendition of a Luna Moth in fine silver. I decided to use plain white 3 mm cubic zirconias for the "eyes" since I didn't duplicate the beautiful green color of the moth and I wanted it to be as simple as possible. It measures 1.75 inches across the wings and I usually don't make pieces this large, but I had to be able to capture the detail of the wings as much as I could. I used Scratch Foam for the basic design and an xacto knife for the fine veins. Now all it needs is a chain.
Below is a picture of one of the two I saw last July. You can read about it here. I based my design on this photo.

Your moth is just gorgeous Zoe. Please show it hanging on a chain too. Are you selling it or keeping it for yourself? It is stunning.
Thanks, Alice! I'll probably keep it for myself, at least for awhile.
Breath taking. This is a perfect essence of the luna moth.
Thank you, LeAnn! I'm very pleased with how it turned out.
