This brief provided Jane with the opportunity to employ a variety of techniques to work the detached wings, from surface embroidery in lustrous silks for the Indian Moon Moth, to hand dyed silk fabric for the purple fucshia butterfly and even to try stitching clear plastic for the Glasswing Butterfly.
