128-page hardback by Jane E Hall. The embroidery of Jane E Hall is breathtaking. Produce three-dimensional renditions of exquisitely worked butterflies that are almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Creates butterflies' wings using the tiniest of stitches worked on to silk. They are then carefully cut away and the edges strengthened with hair-fine wire before being attached to the bodies, carefully crafted from air-drying modelling medium and brushed with whisper-fine threads to resemble hairs. The butterflies can then placed within a setting of silk leaves and flowers. Twelve projects, each based on a different butterfly.
