Susan Elliot previewed The Art of Embroidered Butterflies by Jane E. Hall on her blog just before I was to start this embroidery. I decided to order the book and wait (hard thing for me to do waittttttt) before I started this butterfly circle. I was hoping to get a different perspective and some inspiration. The book is truly beauitful but it is way way way out of my league so put it aside and resorted to my old stand by SEQUINS.... I ordered about 10 different colors of 2mm sequins from Cartwright's and here is the result. The two top butterflies mushes into the one beneath.... might have to have a do-over!
These two lamé circles that will be on this panel along with the butterflies. This panel will be the lace over purple lamé not the turquoise that is shown.
Wishing you all a Happy Holiday Season!!
