Art Of Embroidered Butterflies
The embroidery of Jane E Hall is breathtaking and in this gorgeous book she combines her love of butterflies with her outstanding talent as a textile artist to produce three-dimensional renditions of exquisitely worked butterflies that are almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Using the finest of silk threads and needles Jane lovingly creates her 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 are then placed within a setting of silk leaves and flowers all made with the same painstaking attention to detail and expert skill as
the butterflies themselves. This book provides a fascinating introduction to butterflies in nature reflecting Janes love and admiration for these exquisite creatures and goes on to describe the materials and methods Jane 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 Janes work including detailed close-ups which together with Janes 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.
