beetlebum

You might notice a bit of a creepy crawly theme lately! I am really enjoying making insects at the moment. Here is a cushion and a stumpworked butterfly I made for a recent swap






So what beetle or butterfly should I stitch next? The earwig was fun so maybe another one of them? Or a devils coachhorse? Any ideas?

    Woah! Those are all amazing - such beautiful stitching.

    How about you add a dragonfly?

      A dragon fly would be great- I'm going to do another of these cushions so will add a dragonfly to that one!

    These are so lovely! I work in a museum with drawers and drawers like this, I should be using my work for inspiration to do something like this myself! Great work!
