Textile butterflies

Well its nearly over and what a year it turned out to be, a real rollercoaster not to be too clichéd about it. I thought I'd take a few moments to reflect and look forward to 2017. Here are my highlights. I started teaching workshops for the fantastic Make at Monteray http://www.make-at-monteray.co.uk/ This led to teaching a taster workshop at The Contemporary Craft Festival at Bovey Tracey which was a great experience.

I want all those boring old paper moths in my backyard to look like these instead. See more of Yumi Okita’s work via The Jealous Curator.

I am Heather Everitt an embroiderer from Devon, England. My creative passion in life is to stitch beautiful butterflies and moths. Inspired by vintage entomology collections, I use layers of silk, thread and beads to depict the wing patterns of these glorious creatures.

These lovely brooches are made from vintage and reclaimed fabric and are finished with embroidered and beaded decoration. They fasten with a brooch pin, and are presented on a stitched card with matching envelope.

I am a textile artist based in North Lancashire, UK. I create three-dimensional embroidered artwork inspired by flowers, insects and historical artefacts.

Julie Collings on Instagram: "Art group is tonight and Shannon has planned such an amazing project, we are making textile moths and butterflies. I experimented with a body pattern a bit last night and dyed a few samples so I would have something to stitch on tonight. Dyed silk velvet wings look luminous with the saturated color and the tiny wings are made with a vintage silk handkerchief. Not sure about how the wired wings will attach, I might try something a bit different for the next set.
