My own Ode to the Monarch. It measures about 5" wide and was my second attempt at seed beading.

oh Karen that turned out Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You must have worked hours on that! Nice work!

Wow! Impressive work! :-)

Very nice!!!

Thanks everyone! I was determined to make it accurate.

You did Karen!... Beautiful beadwork! I have always loved seed beads. Nice heirloom piece it will be too.

Karen, I missed this thread...it turned out beautiful! Great job!! :)

Thanks! I am working on a new one, a red admiral.

Karen - Ya gotta post a photo of the Red Admiral once it is done! You go girl with the bead butterflies!!!

Lovely choice Karen, will be watching for it!

Will do!

Florida Atala Butterfly, my latest attempt at beading.

Oh Karen thats beautiful!!! Wow, I love it!!

Karen - YOU amaze me with your bead work!!! Lovely!!! :-)

Beautiful! Do you sew them on something or what are you doing with them when done?

No backing, I reinforce the wings by sewing wire around them to keep them stiff and then I sew a clasp on the back so it can be worn as a brooch. They are both pretty big, about 5 inches across.

Karen,

Good for you!! It is very nice. I am envious of people who are good at different arts and crafts. I have no talent whatsoever. Thanks for sharing.

Have a Good Day!!

Thanks again,

Chuck
