Butterfly Sampler

Day-3

Its Day-3. Here is one more butterfly.

 

It is Kundans again. This time I have used leaf like yellow Kundans for wings. But this time I wanted my butterfly to be in some action. Its bent. I should have added a flower there. But then I thought against it. I also did not want to add its legs.

I have not stitched them yet. I have glued using fabric glue. I will secure them with thread later on.

Here is a closer look.

How do you like it?  Let me know please.

Day-2

My head is teaming with so many possibilities and ideas of what material to be used or what stitches to be explored and so on. I need to jot them down- but I am so lazy. This is only Day-2. Here is another butterfly. Again Acrylic kundans. Hope you like it.

I have used different shapes of Kundans. I have also used whipped stem stitch for its feelers.

I have used knot stitch for its eyes.

Hope you have liked this. More to come. Keep an eye on my blog.......

Butterfly Sampler

Day 1

Butterflies...as a child I was fascinated by them. I am still fascinated. They are colourful and when ever I see one,  I feel so happy. They bring out the child in me. So I have been doodling a lot of butterflies. Sketching, painting...but did not save any. Suddenly the other day I felt why not do a sampler on Butterflies?  I just want to see how many varieties of media, or stitches or material I can use in creating them in different shapes, sizes colours......I am not sure how many I can create. So lets us see. Shall we?

Starting from today I will post one on each day (hopefully-I cannot promise) and see how many I can create. So here it is 

These are made of acrylic and available in many colours and also sizes.

Here is a closer look. We can just glue it or attach them through the two holes provided. I have stitched them. It was difficult to photograph them as they were reflecting light.

This was Day 1......now watch my blog for Day 2....
