I've completed this much of my little ladybug, but am still working out how I want the head and antennae to look.
Heads are typically black, so that's the direction I'm heading, but I still have to delineate the eyes so they don't disappear. I think I'm going to outline the eye beads with gold super pearl purl - as I outlined the body. I'm planning to use a thin wire for the antennae.
I'm going to finish it today, and then work on the other two so I can "release" them all at the same time. I already have 3mm sequins I'm going to try on the next body to use for the spots. (Thanks for that idea!)
Handsome has been in the hospital for the past couple days with a recurring issue, but I'm hoping to bring him home today. It would be nice to spend Easter together.
Wishing all my friends a Happy Easter.
Oh, no, I'm sorry to hear about Handsome! Prayers for doctors to have wisdom in treatment, his healing, and quick return home! Lady bug is as cute as, well, a bug 😉 They should make precious little pins! I would think they would be particularly popular. A joyous Easter to you and Handsome!
ReplyDeleteHi Lois:
DeletePrayers answered, my friend. I brought Handsome home yesterday late morning. He'll recuperate and rest better here at home. I'll sleep better, too. I'm going to finish the first ladybug today and start the second one with sequins and beads for the spots. I can't wait to finish them and turn them into pins!
Happy Easter to you and yours.

Oh no - I'm so sorry that Handsome has been hospitalized! Very much adding my prayer for a quick return home.
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteWe weren't too thrilled about it either. Happy to say he came back home late Saturday morning. He'll get better rest here, plus I can pamper him with lots of TLC, too.
Happy Easter to you and RC.
