First, Daisy took a naturalistic engraving from an existing Wedgwood design, such as this butterfly from a majolica plate.
Then, she drew the design's outline. These butterflies are known as the Open type and were filled with polychrome painting for the second release of the Butterfly pattern. Artistoric's Butterfly lustres show the Open butterfly design.
In another variation, she filled in the outlines with intricate geometric designs. This style is known as Solid butterflies.
