Embroider a stunning butterfly collection, inspired by the many colourful species found in India.

Description

Drawn to the wonder of these fascinating pollinators, Martina Frank has a passion for replicating their beauty in stitch, carefully depicting them in a naturalistic manner.

She captures the dazzling displays, from bold, vibrant markings to delicate shading and tiny, mosaic-like pops of colour that add a subtle liveliness to the embroidered wings.

With nine butterflies to choose from, create a three-dimensional display celebrating the varied forms from oakleaf to swallowtail.

Each butterfly is accompanied by a large close-up photograph with thread colour key and detailed embroidery instructions.
