Flight Wall Hanging

Handwoven Magazine featured this project in Design Collection #8.  It looked like a good project that could utilize one warp for two projects, the denim rag rug and the flight wall hanging.  Not exactly crazy about the butterfly additions.  I had warp on the loom leftover and made a couple of more rag weavings for pillows for the To Be Named Vintage Trailer project.

Notes - the butterflies were too thick and should have been smaller so that they would beat down more.
