Blue Butterfly
Blue Butterfly
The butterfly in the above picture frame has 30cm height and 26cm width.
I made the body and the outlines of the wings of the butterfly with 1.5mm size of seed beads and herringbone stitch, and made the flat foundations of the wings with peyote stitch. After that, I formed a shape of a butterfly by sewing up them, made the decorative components, and sewed them to the butterfly.
The completed butterfly and many beaded flowers are sewn to a pasteboard covering with a fabric and framed.
