Lace butterflies in place

 Hello, everyone.

The lace butterflies have been wired into place. 


They are decorating a lace skirt on a pot. (Assumed riser for pot is about 14".) The pot itself is only on loan for the holyday, the skirt and butterflies are going to stay there. 

The butterflies are removable with care. They decorate only the front side of the pot...nobody is going to notice the back side after all.

The lace skirt has a taffeta underskirt so the pot won't show through.

The lace was part of another lady's stash, and the taffeta is from mine. The butterflies were made on my Janome 500e embroidery machine. There is another post about their construction. I attached them with a beaded wire, using my awesome skilz of making wire-twist hair ornaments from DD2's wedding a couple of years back.
