Butterfly applique in felt

This is my applique of the Ulysses Butterfly, shortly available as a calico bag applique motif on my website www.christinelinton.com.au and as you can see, with an applique motif, it is easy to simplify a complex shape down to the basics. After all, you're not trying to applique a photo - that is a completely different technique.  Look at your favourite animal and see if you can simplify the lines so that you can make a felt applique.
