Wonderous Wings

Continuing the trend of UFORR stitching (it's been two months since I posted a picture of my own work. Are you shocked? I'm flabbergasted), this is Theialin's Butterfly at Night. What information I can find is conflicting, but it appears to have been designed by Maria van Scharrenburg for Lanarte. While it's not on their website anymore it does appear to be available as either a kit or as a leaflet along with its sister design.

As it arrived:


As it goes out


I love those wings. The translucent part where the moon shines is achieved by full crosses with one strand. While the darker outsides are two strands. You can hardly tell that some of those translucent colours are the same as the ones in the larger area!

This takes care of the postal strike backlog. Now I'm back on track with two still with me. However! I'm setting them aside for a bit so I can work on something of my own.

    Lovely design, and beautiful stitching, as always :) I love the translucent effect too! Glad to hear that you're taking a break and stitching something for yourself, but I also love seeing these round robin projects that you do too ;)

    You made amazing progress on that butterfly! I had a hard time keeping to task on it. The one over two was a bit weird, wasn't it? It looks gorgeous when done, but up close looked so strange as I stitched it.
