Description
Stitched using 28 different shades of filament silks onto a piece of ivory silk taffeta fabric, the iconic Ulysses butterfly shimmers and glistens in the light hovering over the showy flower clusters of the Ixora plant. Stitched predominantly using traditional Random Blending Stitch this design is based on an oil painting by Australian artist Adrian McGlusky.
