Today I made this little fellow. It is a french beaded butterfly. I love french beading but it takes a long long time. In addition to this guy I also made the bodies to all of the little ones below. I have had the wings done for a long time now just waiting to get put together. Funny enough the wings are by far the easier part. Anyway It was good to get a production line of bodies going.
You can still see the wires behind the butterflies, I will need these to attach the butterflies to their final destination.
I was originally going to make these into hair sticks like the one below, I made him earlier in the year, I have modified the wing shape and the body since then. I am now thinking that I will make some hair clips/barrettes too! Any other suggestions of things I could do with my butterflies! The big problem with them is that they takes so much time to make If I charged by the hour they would cost a fortune.
Why are my butterflies fellows and hims ??

There seems to be a butterfly theme gathering speed here. Yours is the second post I've read talking about them. I love your little butterflies.
ReplyDeleteYou might be able to put them on sticks for putting into plant pots - they would look very pretty peeping out from foliage. Cal is right about the butterfly theme - something's going on today!
