"Air travelled, light and delicate butterflies and feathers travel across the air carried by the winds. They are the essence of light weight that is also fascinating as far as their construction patterns and colours. They can be collected and captured, and sent from one person to another, by air mail, when people live away from another. People also travel by air in a great birds that mimic the feathers that crossed the winds since the beginning of time. The hat arrives from overseas, is made into and covered in light butterflies and feathers, it has a Reproduced stamp, completely air travelled."
