Lynne (and everyone),
You can see one in progress, until I messed up, at my blog (addy below).
I am working it again in silk threads, with more success this time,
although I've had to stop work on it while Other Stuff intervenes (a
shame how that goes). I will post a picture of it when finished, but
can't be certain of when that will be.
These patterns are not for the faint of heart - certainly you need
point ground experience, but the threads will be taking unusual paths
compared to traditional laces (such as edgings). The designer has
taken advantage of the point ground appearance to portray the
butterflies and moths as close to their natural forms as possible,
which makes them all the more stunning. The patterns are all named by
the taxonomical name of the insect they represent.
