Moth assembly kit


How to make a moth.......


 You will need: 1 undercarriage with wings in needlelace,
                          1 small wing in needlelace,
                          1 furry body in ghiordes knot stitch
                                      ( with feather antennae)
                          6 furry legs.
                       

 Make the furry body with very dense stitches and learn how to tie flies.......




 Spend weeks making a wired segmented undercarriage with patterned wings,


                       Attach everything together and teach him to walk.....


One tame moth.


Release him to join his friends...


'feel pleased with yourself !



This is the last moth (and the largest at 6cm long) for this piece entitled 'Lachrimae Rerum ' ( The Tears of Things) . I'm nearly finished, only  a couple more things to make and add. Every time I think it's done I realise there is some more I can do.
