I missed the deadline for the Artist Challenge in June, even with the theme chosen being one I came up with. The deadline for submission was the same day that my dear kitty companion Zack passed, and I had been spending all my time with him that week, so I let all art fall to the way side. Since then I have completed my bug though, and this month we were given a free theme, so I thought I'd submit my June Bug in August!
Here he is, from a few different angles.
I made him out of cereal boxes and newspaper -
paper maché, with wire legs, he's ready to skitter across the patio...
Here I am with my June Bug, for scale purposes, and with Zana dog -
I tried to give the bug a ride on her back, but she wasn't too interested!

ReplyDeleteKarin you are so clever! Your bug is spectacular in all it's bright glory. I love this post for seeing you and yet another of your amazing creations.
ReplyDeleteHi Karin,

thanks Lynne - I believe you are right, this is just what they look like :)
Hee hee, my beautiful bug and I thank you Linda Sue!!
Thank you Rein :)
Oh no Cat, I couldn't cage these bugs, they would have fancy silk pillows to sit upon, and perhaps crystal studded collars and leashes for walking!!
Thanks Robyn! I tried to pose it crawling up me, but couldn't quite get it to cling on well enough!
Thank you Manon!
Hi Eric, thanks - it's amazing what garbage can become :)
Wow! That is cool. From the first picture I thought this was a journal page. And then it quickly became a journal page come to life!
