Beetle Embroidery


This is detail taken from a fabric necklace I created for a second year project, in Autumn 2009.  I screen printed flowers onto a vintage floral fabric, machine and hand embroidered to build up the layers of embellishment.  The beetle was from a drawing I made at the Booth Museum in Hove.  The museum's collection of butterflies and insects has been an inspiration to me throughout my degree course.
