Viceroy Front

Viceroy Back


First at LMQG Seneca 2006

This Jacket if the second Carolina Butterfly. The white and orange markings are digitized from my drawings on to the black fabric then they are turned on Mylar making sure to match the markings. The wings are batted and hand appliqued. The larger orange shapes and the body are also turned on Mylar, batted and hand appliqued. The head of the body is digitized and the antennas are satin stitched. The back of the jacket is the same as the lining. Ruching and turned Mylar methods are used to create the flowers and leaves on the front. Batik fabrics bring out the colors of the lining. The stems are bias and the centers of the flowers are large French knots. A large jade pendant with satin cord is used for the closing. Stitching in the ditch and vertical lines are used to quilt.
