This month the travelling book I received the owner (Lucy) had requested a theme for all the entries if possible. I had been using Kenilworth Castle as my theme for each entry up till now, so instead I decided to stitch a butterfly. Inspired by the technique
learnt on the Embroiderer’s Guild (Leamington Spa and District) Summer School August 2015 with Pauline
Verrinder ‘Wired to Form’
Using cotton covered wire to form the outline shape of the
butterfly and dyed scrim. Free machine embroidery in zig zag is used to cover
the wire and give detail to the butterfly. I have used a brightly coloured
variegated silk thread to give the bright colours to the butterfly.
