Stitched Butterfly

One of Harper’s favorite books is The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.  By the way anything by Eric Carle is amazing and all his art is done in collage form and they are truly unique and so amazing.  Anyways on the last page of the book the caterpillar turns “into a beautiful butterfly”.  Today the picture inspired me and while Harper napped I got to work.  Tonight I finished the final details.  I painted the butterfly first and then went back and sewed on several pieces of cut fabric.  I really like how it turned out, but the edge is not that pretty.  I painted it pink, but you can still see the staples.  You might need a frame.  If you are interested this is listed in Items Available Now.
