This is the first time I have sewn a butterfly to fit in a pendant and I thought the Gatekeeper would be perfect. I have a real fondness for this butterfly, while not as showy as the peacock or tortoishell butterflys it can be seen dancing along the hedgerows in mid summer and adding a flash of fire.

Full description
This tiny Gatekeeper butterfly has been hand embroidered on silk using fine floss silk thread. The frame is silver plated and measures 30mm x 30mm, it is hung on an 18" silver plated chain. Each stitch is painstakingly sewn using the smallest embroidery needles (size 12) and a magnifying lamp.
The Gatekeeper butterfly (also known as the Hedge Brown) can be seen most commonly in Southern Britain during the summer months. As it's name suggests it can often be seen in gateways and hedgerows where clumps of flowers grow and is particularly fond of bramble flowers and ragwort. Gatekeepers are often confused with Ringlets or Meadow Browns, however, if you look closely the Gatekeeper will have two white spots in the black-eye on it's wings whereas the Meadow Brown will only have one.
