Just a very little post today
Butterfly made from satin and chiffon, reverse appliqued, then couched with gold thread. Haven't quite got to the body yet.
This an idea from a new book I have been reading: The Art and Embroidery of Jane Hall: Reflections of Nature
Her butterflies and insect are amazing and you can see her work here.
I did change her method a little bit, using synthetics and glue to stabilise edges as well as no wire, but I think I have a few machine adaptations as well as some other easier ways to make these gorgeous things.
No ATC, although I have made one today. Hubby and I have been working on organising and slight renovations all weekend and I am very tired, but looking forward to getting into my studio tomorrow. YES!
I had also forgotten to post my choices for the liebster award. I shall do that tomorrow too, sorry
Have a good week all.
