Butterfly Weave.

It's a new challenge over at my
Butterfly challenge.


I would like to see yarn i.e. Wool or Embroidery Thread incorporated somewhere on your project along with a butterfly/s
Here is my inspiration for you.

I have used a pre coloured image by LOTV
from their Art Pad Set 19 ' Cute Cottage Garden'.
We used to make these cobweb/net designs
all the time as kids  from odds of wool
and an old kellogs cardboard box for the base.
I can remember making some quite intricate  ones.
I have just done a simple one here using
embroidery thread across one corner.
Sentiment is a gold sticker and I have 
mounted the finished piece on a pink card base.

Entering into the following challenges:
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends #17 Anything goes.
Pixie's Crafty Workshop #193 Use up your snippets (embroidery thread.)
Craft Your Passion #278 Anything goes.
Scrap  and Craft #13 Butterflies.
Tuesday Throwdown #261 Anything goes.
Through The Craft Room Door # Anything goes.
Papertake Weekly # Things with wings.

Very pretty indeed. Love how you attached yarn to the card.

Thanks for skipping over to the playground with this. Hope you've recovered from the donkey pinning episode!

Wow, this is so pretty. I love the yarn and have never done that before. It looks great in the corner. That is a pretty image with soft colors and the gold sticker is perfect with this. You have inspired me to get out my stash of stickers that I haven't looked at in years!
