JANE NICHOLAS Stumpwork Butterflies & Moths

Jane Nicholas has selected moth and butterfly specimens for interest and colour and to use a wide assortment of materials to interpret these insects. She employs a variety of techniques to work the wings, from surface embroidery in lustrous silks for the Indian moon Moth, to hand dyed silk fabric for the purple fuchsia butterfly and even stitching clear plastic for the glasswing butterfly.

Detailed information and instructions are provided for each of the 18 specimens and four projects are also offered. Most of these are not difficult to work: some are more challenging but all are fun.
