Shy Little Flutter-by...


This moonlight loving fellow was going to be fluttering his way into the little shop tonight.
Alas, like so many moths, a pretty light distracted him and he has found a home with my mum instead...


Moth is another idea I had for a stitched pet for your wall like the Ant Farm and the Fish Bowl
but the poor little thing ended up as a little collector's item with a label...


I've always found butterfly collections fascinating, so pretty and colourful yet fragile and melancholy. There is something a little softer about felt wings and frayed cotton and although not the brightest of flutterers...


...I think I secretly prefer the shy pale colours of dusty moths.
