Collection: Metamorphosis (butterflies)

One of those particularly rainy seasons in California resulted in an abundance of Monarch butterflies. The original of this piece was inspired by that event.

I created the butterflies from bits of yarn and lots of thread. The resulting fabric was used to make each butterfly. I then stitched them onto a background of sky fabric that was thread painted. Basically tiny bits of fabric glued down to heavy interfacing and then stitched with lots of thread.
