Thanks again everyone I'm keeping my fingers crossed that these will do well.
De,
For some reason, I have difficulty with butterflies, just can't find a pattern that is quick and easy and looks nice. I wanted to do a set with a butterfly and a flower, so any suggestions would be appreciated, as well as other "pairs".
I have two craft shows in a row, one on the 6th and one on the 12th of June. Then no other shows until, hopefully, Oct for the big show. Keeping positive thoughts for the Oct show, I'm making items ahead of time and showing them around the different offices I visit daily. Here's a picture of a spider web that I made that I thought might be a good seller in Oct and sold it already and have orders for 3 more.
When I first began doing Butterflies, I found this wonderful pattern book, Butterflies:Nature's Stained Glass, by Susan Vrba-Stacy. The butterflies in this book, some are a bit more challenging than others, but they all could be modified to suit your needs. And they show the designs in small, medium and large formats. Very nice book to have. Or....some of us I'm sure could design some options for you in the..you guessed it..."Design" board! Ha, ha! De Any designs from the "Design Board" would be wonderful!!!!! |

Lol..caught that did you?  ..omg..we're probably showing our "ages" here. That was a cute song by Jim Stafford, for those of you that aren't "ahem" mature enough to remember him. LOL De |

Yeah they really are pretty neat,,, I just wish I knew where the pattern was so I could make a few more. I will run across it one of these days I hope. Not even sure where all my wire wrapping tools and supplies are any more. |

for those sore fingers..........I started using rubber fingers - the kind the bank teller's use. I haven't had sore fingers for a long time now! They work great. I use them on both thumbs and both index fingers when I'm grinding.

Thanks for posting that, Wayne. :) I had seen these awhile back and was wondering how they worked. Might have to give these a try.
