At the bottom of the discussions page there is a
search box. I put 'butterflies' in it and 8 pages
came up. I looked at several, but did not have time
to go through them all. Maybe if you look there...

Same here...I actually looked through them all last night Plus tried every other search term that crossed my mind. Came up with zilch. Even google was not forthcoming. Bummer. Hoping someone here remembers the post. It's beyond frustrating to be all geared up to start a project and not be able to locate it.

I think you may be talking about my butterfly.

That is one.awesome.butterfly.

YEP......that's it!!!! Yippee. I could remember it being awsome. So how do I find your old post for directions? Or could you post them again? I knew I'd get help if I asked. Such a great group to be involved with!
THANKS to all and especially Becky.

Beautiful butterfly! Looks the the Queen of butterflies.

I believe my yard could use one of those. Thank you for sharing! Jlily

Yep -- this is a wonderful group !!

Hi again,

This butterfly is made from an outdoor fence post purchased at a local lumberyard. I painted it first, and then mosaicked with glass tiles, mirror tile, 1/2 marbles and crash glass. The wings are a flexible tubing (like a hullahoop cut in half) with golf balls on the ends painted purple. The cloth wings took about five yards of fabric using a cardboard template as a pattern. My husband created a base to use so we can move it and bring her indoors when the weather is bad. We put her out when we are having an outdoor party or garden tour.

Oh wow...she's even more lovely up close & personal...
wouldn't have thought that possible. I loved her from
a distance.

Lots of work here! Nice to see this again, becky! Great for garden party conversations! Yes, I agree, this is a great group of GJers! Jeanne s.

Beautiful!! Lot of work on that post & doing the cloth part but sure worth it! TFS Jan
