Grandma's Butterflies - Blue Cotton Butterflies Using cutouts from blue cotton quilting squares, this square created the butterflies through the nuno quilting surface design. Glass gems were added under a layer of wool and cutout to add some adornment to the background. The butterflies and glass gems were encircled by wool pencil rovings to add contrast and define shape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d682d0c2f4be200016b711f/1572881415702-6IMNE3ZC3D93TPKNNOSM/cover_darkened_butterflies.jpg Home - Grandma's Butterflies - Darkened Butterflies This square uses the surface design of nuno inclusion with black nylon gauze. The black mesh traps the inclusions - three pink dupioni silk butterfly cutouts, pink sequins, silver butterfly sequins, and silver seed beads. The black coloring of the mesh darkens and subdues the pinks and silver coloring throughout this piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d682d0c2f4be200016b711f/1572881517230-E6HXHPV5ANGLKWVYRPNP/squ_3_pink_butterflies.jpg Home - Grandma's Butterflies - Pink Silk Butterflies Using nuno inclusion with pink china silk, this square created a unique textile. Three cutout butterflies from cotton batting were enclosed under pink china silk. Using an alteration technique of surface stitching with blue non superwash wool fingering weight yarn I embroidered French knots in the background for contrast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d682d0c2f4be200016b711f/1572881621973-V6BF8ECJFLM01Y9QTTXN/20191030_233917.jpg Home - Grandma's Butterflies - Flapping their Wings The technique for this square is prefelt-raised, giving the dramatic feel of butterflies flying out of the square. Using prefelts created from tussah silk on top of wool, six butterflies were cut out. To add pattern to the wings, surface stitching alterations were made with the same type of yarn as Pink Butterflies. https://www.lillianrusselldesigns.com/home/tribute-to-a-master-spinner-and-weaver-my-grandma monthly 0.5 2020-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d682d0c2f4be200016b711f/1570081150342-LF4NSCX6Z0LGPFNJ24AL/4_3_mom_me_at_golden_web.jpg Home - Tribute to a master fiberist, my grandma.
