Two ideas spring to mind: An Antartic explorer - or a man in a penguin

I received my copy of 'Bright and Flighty' yesterday which i bought on Ebay.
I am very pleased with the book. The butterflies are beautiful and very
realistic. Worked in raised lace - very Honitonish. Would help to have done
some Honiton or similar. However, the patterns are beautifully

I'd agree that a straight forward idea would be easier to execute rather
than trying to combine lots. Having smaller panels than the maximum
allowed, would allow some leeway when it comes to packaging. It may then be
possible to included an extra panel, or increase the panel size to
accomodate
