Creation Wings

General information

"Creation Wings"" is run by Will and Amy Zinke, both have been avid naturalists since childhood. With their family of four children, they have traveled extensively and love to display breathtaking, interesting, and sometimes bizarre oddities ranging from giant beetles to fossilized remains of extinct creatures.

​Each display is a work of art; exquisitely mounted and professionally framed. Amy's favorites are the butterfly displays always on rotation here! Welcome, and please return regularly for some different form of ""God's Art"", displayed creations from the Greatest Artist! Our goal is to glorify Jesus Christ, our Creator and Redeemer, who made these wonderful creatures!

- Why Choose our Butterfly Displays?

Why not consider a butterfly as a gift? They are preserved in an air tight frame that will last indefinitely, unlike flowers that fade after just a few days. They represent the grandeur and glorious diversity of creation, reflecting the mind of their Creator. Did you know butterflies are the ancient symbol for transformation, resurrection and new life? [""Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.."" II Corinthians 5:17] What better gift for a wedding, graduation or a new arrival! And the best reason, they're gorgeous!

Our displays are not the usual ""riker"" mounted box [unless noted] but professional top quality artistic frames/shadowboxes with acid-free backing or double glass. All are air-tight and specially treated to deter pests. We only use quality acid free mattings. Many displays are re-fitted fancy oil painting frames or decorative picture frames to give an antique or Victorian feel. Others are more modern, streamlined styles. Whatever your tastes are, be assured that you are purchasing a high quality display that will compliment [not distract from] the incredible beauty of the specimen. Every display is painstakingly put together, usually taking many hours to get it just right![Satisfaction guaranteed!] If you would like more photos of a particular display, please ask and we will be glad to send you some. Custom orders are welcome, but will cost a bit more...

You are also helping to conserve the world's rain forests. All of our species are legally acquired through domestic importers, and were raised on ""butterfly farms"". These farms give incentive for indigenous peoples to conserve the remaining rain forests for future profit instead of destroying them for present but temporal gain. All of our butterflies are ""A"" quality [""End of Life"" or ""Ex- Pupa""]. {Satisfaction guaranteed!}

- Why a Victorian Theme?

Many of our displays have a Victorian theme in their appearance. The European Victorian Era {1837-1901} was a time of great exploration and discovery. Naturalists traveled to distant and exotic lands, bringing back strange and amazing stories and even stranger specimens of all kinds of new animals and plants. Insects were in vogue, and museums would pay high prices for a new or rare species. Grand collections in display halls would bring many visitors to view and gawk at the weird beetles or giant butterflies. We want to bring back a sense of that wonder on our website, so a greater awe for God and His beautiful creation can be shared with others!
