Who inspires whom? What inspires what? How does it all work? Whatever the philosophical underpinnings, this is a simple post on what more the eye saw in Endrucks' pattern #3 besides the original edging, square motifs, and a fruit/flower bowl.
From Endrucks' edging #3, where I spotted a heart, Sue His Kid spotted a butterfly! https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2022/01/more-multiples.htmlAnd both patterns are shared for you to enjoy and prettify further.
Sue shared the Eye Spy Butterfly pattern here - http://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2022/06/pendant-and-butterfly-from-muskaan-eye.html
This is my Eye Spy Heart from the same source. I had sketched the idea over the Square motif (scroll down to the last pic in that post), but it got forgotten among all other projects. Sue's butterfly motivated me to work it out and believe me, the above model is both my prototype as well as the final piece, finished in less than an hour, and no blocking required, either!
Work in size 10 thread, since the finished size is small. My Heart, in Anchor size 20, measures less than 4cms across and 3cms high.

I changed 28 to 30 ds chain in my model above. Work moves counterclockwise in fs/bs tatting
My head is brimming with butterfly versions using techniques, effects, beads, etc.!
In Anchor size 20, the butterfly is less than 4cms across and 3.5 cms high.

Stich count is notated over the model itself. I deliberately went clockwise for the chains, so that they could be worked frontside. You are free to move in the opposite direction.
Please note that I made a mistake in chain H which I noticed only now. Chain H should be 6ds, just like chain E.

2 shuttles, CTM. 2 split rings and 1 mock ring.

Your butterfly and heart are both better than mine! I am glad you have that done now! I can't wait to see what you tat next!! ;) Have a great day!!! :)
