Stumpwork Butterflies & Moths

Stumpwork Embroidery Butterflies and Moths is the third in a series of books by Jane Nicholas featuring insects in conjunction with flowers.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

This specimen box contains eighteen specimens – ten moths and eight butterflies – from the order Lepidoptera. Jane’s aim was to produce a specimen box of Jewels, with complete disregard for size and proportion. She selected moth and butterfly specimens for their interest and colour — not the most familiar — and used a wide assortment of materials to interpret these insects.

This brief provided Jane with the opportunity to employ a variety of techniques to work the detached wings, from surface embroidery in lustrous silks for the Indian Moon Moth, to hand-dyed silk fabric for the purple fuchsia butterfly, and even to try stitching clear plastic for the Glasswing Butterfly.
