The content is a close-up view of a fairy sculpture called Red Star Hibiscus Bathing, made by SDB Designs sculpted by Sean Broadbent. The sculpture is made of different types of wood – tulip wood, ebony, cherry, mahogany, and silver. The wood grain creates an effect of veins on a butterfly’s wings, and the wings let light pour through them. The sculpture is part of a larger gallery of artwork available at the website link provided.

SDB Designs, the creator of Red Star Hibiscus Bathing, specializes in sculptures, woodworking, architecture, and interior design. They are located in Halifax, and their work is also available in Sowerby Bridge, Ripponden, and Hebden Bridge. The sculptures are made using traditional methods that date to medieval times, but with contemporary twists that make them unique.

Fairies, specifically female ones with butterfly wings, are a common theme in SDB Design’s works of art. The sculptures are reminiscent of fairy tales and myths, which gives them spiritual significance. Some of the sculptures depict naked women, a nod to traditional artwork that celebrates the beauty of the female form.

SDB Designs is an artist who explores folklore and mythology through woodcarving. Their unique style blends different traditional techniques to create art that is both contemporary and traditional. The result is a mesmerizing and ethereal series of fairy sculptures.
