Columbine High School – Littleton, CO – Mini Butterfly Collector’s Edition 1

$250.00

The Littleton, CO shooting occurred on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School, where two students opened fire on classmates and teachers. This atrocity, one of the most infamous school shootings in U.S. history, forever changed the national dialogue around school safety, gun control, and the psychological factors behind such attacks.

This handcrafted miniature honors the Columbine community with the same care and symbolism as its larger counterpart. The design seeks to reclaim and restore the original meaning of the word “Columbine,” which has become synonymous with school shootings. Its wings portray a peaceful grassy field filled with delicate columbine flowers — symbols of natural beauty, growth, and life, and a reminder of what the name once represented. Each piece serves as a quiet tribute to lives lost and a reminder of what we continue to hope for.

This is Collector’s Edition 1 in a series of limited miniatures created by the Butterfly Art Collective. Within this edition are 12 individually crafted pieces, each one-of-a-kind in shape and detail. While united by a common design inspiration, no two are exactly alike—ensuring that every collector receives a singular work from this debut release. Each piece includes a numbered and stamped certificate of authenticity from the Butterfly Art Collective.

100% of proceeds support our nonprofit partners driving healing and systemic change.

Please allow 2 to 3 business days for order processing.

  • Each butterfly shape varies slightly in size, ranging approximately from 4"–5.5" in width and 2.6"–3.3" in height, depending on the silhouette.
