Hand embroidery swap challenge


This is the first swap I have ever done. This little butterfly will be spreading it's wings and leaving for South Africa this afternoon. It is sewn on dupion silk. I have appliqued the light blue on the wings and body. Outlined in chain. Filled the wings with coral stitch and beads. The flowers in chain, stem and straight stitch. I couldn't get a great photo of it but the beads and appliqued sections glitter and pick up the light beautifully. Only hope she likes it.

You did a beautiful job on your butterfly. I love that you did it all in blues. She is going to love it.
