Pearl Butterfly - lesson 3 completed

This is what I should be doing for next two weeks:

Done in 3.5 hours (total -- 16 hours). Waiting for final instructions which will be posted on March 10th.

What I had to do:

1) Butterfly body. It is made of soft cotton thread (a little bit waxed for better handling. Still hate waxing...)

2) To cover part of wings and body with a thing called "Whipped Plate".

You just take this metal thing, fold it and backstitch it.

3) Apply Swarovski pearl beads to the wings. This was really simple: you string the beads first and then couch them according to pattern.
