Additional marking:  From North Pole measure down and mark points 1/3 and 2/3 of the distance between the pole and the equator on every second line, repeat on the same lines from the South Pole. Measure 1/6 from the equator to poles on alternate lines. Stitch marking lines into hexagons at the poles, into 6 pentagons in the next row and into 6 hexagons along the equator.
ST13  Using a template stitch guidelines around the butterfly shape. Vary the placement of the butterflies in the hexagon shapes at the obi. Using the Blue butterfly as an example: start at the body with a dark blue metallic braid, stitch out into the wings using a kiku stitch. Place about 12 stitches per side. Then use 2 threads of medium blue embroidery floss in a variety of long and short stitches between the metallic braid and the edge of the wing. Let areas of the black background show through the stitches to imply detail.
Finish the edges of the wings using a light blue Kreinik braid to stitch the top of the wings and to infill the edges. Then stitch the body using 2 rows of the white Fingering yarn and finish it using black rayon thread to note thorax lines. Using the same process the following lists the threads for each color of butterfly: Red- Light pink metallic Kreinik braid, red shiny rayon floss, 2 threads of medium pink thread. Yellow- Gold Kreinik braid, 2 threads light yellow floss, 2 threads medium yellow floss. Red/White- red metallic Kreinik braid, 2 threads light pink floss, 2 threads white floss. Green- Green metallic Kreinik braid, 2 threads medium green floss, 2 threads dark green floss. Orange- Gold Kreinik braid, 2 threads medium orange floss, 2 threads dark orange floss.

Flowers: There are 6 flower tiles as shown in the sketches, use 1 of each on both sides of the butterflies. The embroidery stitches and threads used are:

Finish with a yellow floss french knot center.

ST13 Butterfly Clusters in the hexagons at the poles: Use 2 threads of each color of rayon thread, medium purple, light green, light orange, blue, light yellow and red. Each butterfly is stitched in one of the triangles of the hexagon. Starting at the center point of the bisecting line stitch the top wings close to the outer edge using long stitches, stitch 7 rows. Starting near the bottom of the triangle stitch to the top of the junction of the wings, then go under the wings and around the junction out the bottom to create the second edge of the tail.
