Class Description: 

It’s springtime and time to appreciate the beauty of the butterfly and one of our amazing pollinators! We will be needle felting a 5 x 7 painting featuring the monarch butterfly as the main focus, with a background and flower to land on! It is geared toward students who have some prior class experience as this design is detailed and a bit intricate. We will also be doing a small bit of embroidery using pearl cotton to enhance the detail. This is a project that will definitely utilize previous skills and hopefully add some to your arsenal.
