Two butterflies Copyright Ruth Perry 2005 - 2007

The 7 ring butterfly at the bottom is on the http://tat-calendar.blogspot.com today, and the top butterfly is a variation on the dragonfly in the previous post. It amazes me how one pattern leads to another. I think larger beads would look better for the tail of this butterfly, but I like the way the wings look. I'd like to work out tatting instructions for some of the real butterflies. Someday when I have time... yeah, right.
