Chinese Butterflies are
highly stylized and yet somehow look like they're ready to
fly right off the fabric. The butterfly is a very common theme
in Chinese brocades and decorations. I think it's delicate,
somewhat elusive nature with it's *shimmery* gossamer wings
is what fascinates many of us. These butterflies coordinate
with the Lace Bowl
& Doily - Chinese Butterflies Because many of these
butterflies use a blended thread technique which is rather
sheer, they would be perfect for metallic threads.
