I then went back to adding beads to the very long picots which is the second butterfly but I wasn't happy with this either.
The final pink one is my favourite. One less bead on each long picot and that seems to have done the trick.
All I have to do is finish off the drawing, put it all together and it's done! Another one off my list of 'to do's'!!! The hardest part of this design was getting it into my head that the rings were facing outwards and the chains inwards. Don't know why but I just couldn't get it going at first. I struggled with the instructions just after the fourth SR where a chain takes the worker to the lower left wing. This I did about six times just so I could get the SS or RW or whatever right! Just hope it is now!!!

Jane, I love your blog! I visit almost every day and am rewarded by watching your lovely work grow.
ReplyDeleteThese butterflies are exquisite. The lightly beaded first one has its own grace and beauty as does the more heavily beaded red one.
Thank you for your treats, Jane!!
