I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out.
I used a piece of vintage linen and drew
the butterfly with permanent pen.
Then I fused it to white felt using Wonder Under,
then I fused a further two layers of brown felt
and stitched around the whole thing.
I then added some copper wire.
If you are wondering how I did the
ends of the antennae, I'll let you know
my secret. I dipped the ends of the wire
into Diamond Glaze, let it dry and then repeated twice.
( I made sure the antennae were hanging
downward while the glaze dried.)
It's flying to my Etsy store soon.
This is really nice, Doda! :)
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI've been to a book launch recently by a Moth artist - quite exquiste works.
I love copper, both when it's red, and when it turns that lovely verdigris green.
I made a pair of copper and steel bees earlier on in the year - great fun to do.
Keep it up!
Cheers
