Your opinion on Easter Crochet Gift.

[FireSpirit]

hello all. ;D

I've been working on this for sometime now, and still lots left to do.

Thank Goodness i started early for once.

i need your opinion and for you to use your imagination cos its still a WIP. The finished piece will be mounted on deep purple velvet. The butterfly will be crocheted over wire so as to be 3-D. I stuck this one on there to give you an idea of what I am doing (as if I truly know ).

Do you like it with the butterfly or without?

 

 

I know it needs a lacier version of a butterfly and probably not yellow/orange but that what I had for the moment.

 

This project has almost been overwhelming but It is for my precious mother.

Thanks!

it's beautiful! i like it without the butterfly. the beauty of the piece to me is in the intricate design. may i ask what pattern did you use?

[cindylou4516]

Very pretty, But I like it without the butterfly or maybe a different color butterfly it just doesnt look like it belongs in that color.

It is a beautiful cross, I would not put the butterfly on it, I think it takes away from the cross

[FireSpirit]

Thanks everyone for the input so far.

Its unanimous.

The butterfly looks like a horrible piece of orange yarn hung on the camera lens.

 

Sorry redbird as I have no pattern for this.

i based it on a knotwork sketch I often doodle on paper, then kind of winged it from there...

[Kaylana]

The cross is beautiful. I love knotwork like that and I'm really impressed that you "just winged it." I like it best without the butterfly, but if the person you're giving it to really likes butterflies (or there is another special reason you want to incorporate it) you could always mount it next to the cross so that it doesn't hid the detail work on the cross itself. Or maybe position it closer to the base so that you can see the pretty colors in the top half. Either way it's a gorgeous project.

I like it better without, the cross is beautiful and it'd be a shame to cover up even part of it.

[cthulhu]

Another vote for without. What a gorgeous cross!

[123mama]

Without the butterfly. Unless you make it smaller and a dainty color. The cross is to pretty

Let me just say, that is amazing! It is beautiful, I am another vote for no butterfly. It would be a shame to cover even a small portion of that cross.

[misssmaggie]

Without. That is beautiful !!!

[stitchgirl]

It's very lovely - I would leave the butterfly off.

[kazily]

What a stunning crochet piece. Your mother is going to love it! I wish there was a pattern for it lol

 

I agree that it stands on it's own beauty without the butterfly.

[classic crochet]

What a beautiful cross!!! I agree, no butterfly.

[froggy]

I like it better without the butterfly.

[Ladykats]

Yeah, my cousin and I agree with the most, leave it without the butterfly. My Cousin suggested, since it is for Easter and you are mounting it, maybe a lily across the bottom. I think it is beautiful just the way it is.

[angelsmith52]

I have to say without as well.

[lizdini]

I like the idea of the butterfly, but I agree with the earlier post that it should be small and not directly on the cross for best effect!

[mamaoso]

Beautiful Cross.. I vote without the butterfly...

[MaryPat]

Without the butterfly. Putting the two together reminds me of mixing up metaphors -- somehow they don't belong together.

[darski]

It is so very beautiful. I would go without the butterfly but... it could be nice with the butterfly glued to the frame instead. I would then go with a solid colour from the varigated that you used for the cross.

 

Really a lovely gift to give to your mom.
