Just lovely. Combinations of hand- and loom-controlled are fascinating. Can you describe the Korean knotting technique?

You have captured the migration beautifully, exquisite . I am also interested in how the knotting is done. The shape you have fashioned is perfect for a butterfly!

I really like this - the colours are gorgeous and the contrasting textures too... Are the butterflies done on-loom? What size is the piece!? Would love to see more images of it.
