Stumpwork ButterflyDesigner: Liz Turner Diehl Started: 2000 This was a class taught at CATS, where you prestitched the four parts of the butterfly over two on 40-count silk gauze, then cut them out and stitched them together, with a wire form, using buttonhole stitch. The butterfly's body is then enhanced with turkey work, so you end up with a nice, fuzzy butterfly body. These two pictures show the butterfly from the top and from the side, so you can see the different colors on the underside of the wings...just like a "real" Monarch butterfly. |
