Butterfly Bag Crochet along-13-embellish the butterflies

by Noreen on June 9th, 2007

I spent yesterday evening embellishing the crocheted butterflies that I had made for the bag:

Stitching on beads and buttons brought the butterflies to life:crochet-along-butterfly-bag-36-qs.jpgcrochet-along-butterfly-bag-37-qs.jpgcrochet-along-butterfly-bag-38-qs.jpgcrochet-along-butterfly-bag-39-qs.jpg

The next step will be to connect everything with chain stitches, and soon, the butterfly bag will be done!

:D Butterfly hugs,

Noreen

    ahh, you beat me to it;) I was wondering what the butterflies would look like embellished with buttons, now I know, pretty cool looking.

    The possibilities are really endless, Robin :)
    Depending on your yarn or thread and the combination of buttons and beads, there are an infinite ‘flutter’ of butterflies!
    Ah, so much fun…..

    Thank you so much, Pat! I found it captivating to work on the butterflies. As I added the beads and buttons, they ‘came to life’ for me…..
    it was really a neat experience!

    Ah, Mirjam, thank you so much! For me, butterflies are a kind of window into the realm of creativity and healing. I am grieving the death of my beloved Mum (Jim’s mother, but also a treasure to me) and so, working on the butterflies made my heart sing, as somehow, they were a connection to her……
    It was very contemplative and delight filled to ‘play with the butterflies’!
    They are a metaphor and a symbol of transformation, so it makes sense that they hold so much positive energy!
