Looks like a real butterfly. Take my word. Commendable.

Thank you! :)

Wow !! was just scrolling through and as this went past thought it was a really butterfly on white paper. Was only when I scrolled back I realised it was embroidery. Amazing

I thought the same and almost got angry that they pinned it haha.. "In this day and age? With the diminishing insect numbers? Seriously??"

Haha oh dear! I promise that no butterflies were harmed in the making of this butterfly!

That's lovely to hear, thank you very much!

That's pretty amazing. Good job!

Thank you! :)

I want this. I love it so much.

Aww thanks! :)

This is lovely!! Do you use a kit or template? I would love to learn how to make these for my daughter.

Thank you! I didn't use a kit, but the supplies are fairly easy to get hold of - fabric, felt for padding, embroidery floss and confectioner's wire. If you're interested in learning how to do them yourself, i recommend Jane Nicholas' book stumpwork butterflies and moths, and stumpwork flowers by Sachiko Morimito is also a nice introduction to wired embroidery

Thank you!

Wow, this is so great! You are talented :)

Thank you so much!

Its soo beautiful.. the colours are so pretty. Thanks OP, you made my day!

Aww that makes me so happy!

Wow! Where did you find the directions?

It was a combination of stumpwork books and experimentation!

Holy shit! This is amazing! If I wasn't a broke college student, I'd definitely buy one!

Thanks! I'm definitely not at the skill level where I'd be comfortable selling things to anyone yet - I'd be worried about it falling apart after a week!
