The original pattern
came from the late Vi Bullard 
and was sold for charity
by Noelene Lafferty in Cooma, Australia

The butterfly is made from a pattern
in an Anna magazine, about 1997
issue I think, and in size #40 DMC 
cordonnet cotton.   I made it
about 2 years ago.

It was from a pattern
leaflet from the 60's perhaps,
bought from the thrift store specifically
for that little butterfly pattern.

"I finished it at the 1998 IOLI Convention
in San Diego. I wanted to use a pattern 
from a UK Lace Guild calendar, but
when I started pricking the pattern I
realized that each wing wasn't 
mirror-image, so I used one side, 
trued it up, & flipped it for the other wing. 
The spider on the butterfly body is a 
personal embellishment of my own 
devising. It also has 2 seed beads for eyes."

The pattern is by Pat Perryman
but I have altered the fillings.

"The Butterfly is from Yusai Fukuyama's
book 100 New Bobbin Lace Patterns.
I used DMC Cordonnet Special no 70."
