In Flower Cloud with Butterfly the mum is a most revered of flowers in Japan. The butterfly is a rainbow of colors. The piece is influenced by the flowers on a kimono in my collection.

The stitches are ichi dan, line – a variation of ichi dan, ni dan straight ni dan step, ni dan step double, satin, and the irregular stitch. The traditional background stitch is used.

The threads are traditional to Rozashi: silk, brocade thread, the 3- ply gold and silver metallic and urushi thread.
