I recently finished this butterfly brooch. Wouldn't like to admit to you how long ago I started it!
It is hand drawn onto vintage cotton and then bonded onto felt and stitched. I used copper wire for the body, and little seed beads for his eyes.
Do you like this interesting fabric he is sitting on? I just bought it. It is in fact a cheap dust sheet from Lidls. I can't wait to make something out of it. It is backed with a soft plastic, so not sure yet what I am going to make, but the colours in it are just sumptious! There is even an occasional glittery thread in there.
Orange tip butterfly brooch will be in my Etsy store soon.
your butterflies are gorgeous.....they look very time consuming!! and i love your new fabric! i can't wait to see what you're going to create with that!! :))
