Objective: make bugs cute!
ANTS... they've invaded my room. So I knit one up. And the I fell in love with the darn thing. I made mine brown so I could see his cute little eyes. Since my insects needed legs (as opposed to my furry guys, who have no arms and legs, and therefore, in the real world would have a BIG disadvantage) to make them all not worms or winged worms, I took away their mouths.
I need to make a big one, because i love my ant. I flipped my lid. ; )
Enter the ladybug. In my parents house I lived in a room that I had to share with about a dozen ladybugs. Mostly orange ones. Quiet, sweet and not so long lived. I didn't have ladybug food in my room, so they should have gotten a ladybug sized fridge or something.
My ladybug is fat to make up for my starving ladybug roomies. Cute, but definately chubby. This is not your South Beach Diet Ladybug.
I'm finished working on a bee. But I'm not sure if the strips should be Black-yellow-black-yellow-black or the other way. I have a cute bee, but when I photographed him, I am not sure YOU the viewer know he's a bee, or just a black thing with two white petals (as my non-ladybug roomie said)
EDITED: Now it looks like a bee.
And when I pick up the bee to show people, I can't help but move him in sharp lines, going bzzzt, bzzzt. And my other roomie had a stuffed plush flower. And what did I do? My best imitation of a bee pollinating a flower, sound effects and all.
Of course, I had one of those superfat bees flying outside my second story window so I could see his "V" shaped antennae, which are NOT on my bee.
Non-human creatures of the earth, please STOP pointing out my errors and omissions. It's FREAKING me out!
