I made a start at my metamorphosis piece, and it didn't really match was I was hoping for in my head. The computer wouldn't save my work either, so I took that as a sign I was on the wrong track. Sigh.
However, as I was looking through my photos I ran across a metamorphosis softie project from a few years ago. I blogged about the project here. I guess some themes are rather timeless.
First, the caterpillar looks like bird poop. Then it changes to instar stage, which is fat and green. My ruched softie zips into a larger "instar" bag.
The instar is my favorite stage.
From the instar stage the caterpillar becomes a chrysalis. Our chrysalis is a patchwork bag that holds all the smaller components.
Out of the chrysalis emerges a beautiful butterfly. Ours has a little pouch on it's belly that holds a pompom egg so that the process can start all over again.
Enjoy a small slideshow of our backyard metamorphosis as well:

What a great idea! Your caterpillar and butterfly are gorgeous!
Wow. You were do diligent in getting all those photographs. Benjamin and I enjoyed the slide show! Of course the softie is genius!
How beautiful! Not unlike the metamorphosis of the "Ugly Duckling" to the Stunning Swan.
Very cute Kristin
Nice designs...
