In this captivating book, Jane E. Hall seamlessly blends her profound affection for butterflies with her exceptional skills as a textile artist, resulting in three-dimensional representations that are remarkably lifelike and nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. With utmost care and precision, Jane meticulously crafts her butterflies using the finest silk threads and needles, employing the smallest of stitches meticulously executed on silk fabric. These exquisite creations are then carefully nestled within a backdrop of silk leaves and flowers, each meticulously crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail and expert craftsmanship as the butterflies themselves.

To accompany the butterflies, there is an insightful introduction that reflects Jane's deep love and admiration for these remarkable creatures. This is followed by twelve captivating studies, each presented as a finished piece accompanied by the materials used and the photographs, swatches, drawings, and paintings that served as inspiration. One of the most remarkable aspects of this book is the breathtaking photography that showcases Jane's work in exquisite detail, including close-up shots. Combined with Jane's poetic and inspiring text, this book appeals to nature enthusiasts, embroiderers, textile artists, and anyone who appreciates the beauty of fine books.
