I've been saving images of Monarch butterflies (among other things) in my "inspiration" binder since Lexington. Yesterday, I pulled them out of the binder, and took the silk thread assortment out of my silk thread cabinet. Yes. I have a cabinet full of only silks. (It's actually a jewelry chest, and I'll share a post about that another time.)
I'll be setting up the components for this project over the weekend, and you'll get the first peek at my Monarch butterfly beginnings on Monday.
I'm excited to share my progress with you, but as the comments said, you may find me working on the goldfinches, too. I'm making no promises one way or the other. You'll have to stay tuned to find out.
Happy Weekend!
Once I read the comment about your other butterfly needing a companion I was sold. I'm always a sucker for not wanting things (& people!) to be lonely. LOL. Besides, monarchs are quite magnificent. However, your birds will always be a favorite! Looking forward to your progress either way! Enjoy the new project(s)!
ReplyDeleteHi Lois-
DeleteI agree. It's time my other butterfly had a companion, and a Monarch is appropriate to go with the beautiful Red Spotted Purple. The birds will be there when I'm ready. I may design the goldfinches soon so they're ready when I am.
Hope you have a great new week!

Beautiful colors. Silks are so enjoyable to work with.
ReplyDeleteWhen you need to take a break from these colors the
black and yellow of the finches will be perfect.

Hi Shirley-
DeleteNothing quite like silk, for sure. I'm looking forward to doing the "goldie's", too!
Hope your new week is wonderful.
