BJP 2013 ~ August Ta-dah

April's butterfly cuff definitely inspired this month's leaf. We have a buddleia bush by the back door which attracts butterflies throughout the summer. I chose a Red Admiral to try and bead.


 A variety of different sized beads were used to capture the buddleia flower in the background.


So what do you think?
 

I can't believe that I only have four more leaves to go.

  1. Each leaf I say "oh, now that's the prettiest one yet". You have done it again, because now the butterfly is my favorite. Well at least until the next leaf gets finished . . . I can't wait to see how they all look together. I am so impressed with the project so far :-)

  8. Your red admiral is awesome, one of the best beaded butterflies I've ever seen... You were really successful at capturing the look and feel of the admiral's wings. This is one of my favorite of your leaves so far. Bravo!
