Wondering what happened to the little butterflies from a few posts before? They got made into this Easter Egg Ornament. I used those three and a bunch of smaller butterflies (some of which are adapted from Jane Eborall's great butterfly pattern). I pinned them to the satin egg with little gold applique pins stuck through powder blue seed beads. I'm counting this one as number 16 for the 25 Motif Challenge. It's destined for a long trip half-way around the world as a gift for a good friend.
It's making a stop at the County Fair before being shipped away, though. It's got a first place blue ribbon, a high blue (considered for Sweepstakes) and a Judge's Choice ribbon. A big ribbon...greedy me, I like big ribbons.
