I went on with the Teneriffe lace piece, departing almost immediately from the traditional pattern, and came up with this nice little butterfly.
It's separated from the original working foundation and resting on this background for the moment to make it more visible. When I attach it to the work it's planned for, I'll tack it down and adjust the threads enough so that it still has a bit of movement, but a bit more orderly looking.
This was just like doing a sawblade weaving in miniature, with a fine thread and a tiny area.
It was pleasing to do this, since it was the motif that I was needing to finish a hand dyed linen piece, the one I attached the stitching on net to. It came along at just the right time.

A butterfly, or something you might see deep in the ocean. A jellyfish of sorts, perhaps?
