A Giant Ladybug

When we first started making our lady bugs, we had no idea they would be so popular.  We sometimes receive requests for custom items from customers at the local shops that sell our work.  One customer asked for a ladybug shawl pin with our "signature leaf" stick.  This is the design we created that has both a green and a black and white leaf stick that can be interchanged for a different look.

I decided that one of my projects I have been working on for the Shuswap Lake Festival of the Arts show needed the final touch of adding some lady bugs.  Joan Taylor makes the best ladybugs so I turned to her blog post where she shared her tips on how to create a cane for some inspiration.  As you can see, I made quite a large cane and since it turned out better than I had expected, I am glad I did as now I will hopefully have a large supply of the little critters.

You can see one of the items I have added these cute little bugs to.  It is a surprise for now but as soon as I take some more photos I will reveal more in my next blog post.  In the meantime, have a great weekend.
