This book provides a fascinating introduction to butterflies in nature, reflecting Jane E. Hall's love and admiration for these exquisite creatures, and goes on to describe the materials and methods that she uses to produce her incredible creations.
Twelve projects, each based on a different butterfly including the Painted Lady, Small Tortoiseshell, and the Brimstone, present the finished piece along with the materials Jane used, and the photographs, swatches, drawings, and paintings that inspired it.
One of the most striking features of this book is the amazing photography of Jane's work, including detailed close-ups, which, together with Jane's poetic and inspiring text, make this a book that anyone who is an artist, embroiderer, textile artist, or simply a lover of beautiful books - will want to own.
