Nope. I buy them from the manufacturer.

I love your bug jewelry. Very interesting and different.

what a great entries!
I love the blue color of the dragonfly. Beautiful!
I like the scarab, those colours!
And the ladybug amazes me. perfect shading. Much better than my spiders. Thanks for all the compliment for the spiders, it let me fly, but after seeing the lady bug I'm back on the floor, practising again, ha ha.

Maggi, I hope you'll get well soon!

Well now I want bug jewelry lol
and the baby hats make me wish I could have more kids lol

I didn't notice the babyhats earlier. They are so cute.

I only sell stuff I LOVE! The hats started because I HAD TO have one for my baby (who is now 6 1/2)

I love-LOVE dragonflies!! Beautiful!!!!

That scarab is so cool!, Gina is right, it would make a fabulous piece of jewelry!

Thanks for the kind comments, everyone!
It's my first "offering" so to speak... *l*...

It's a Milk Weed Beetle. I thought that it was a type of ladybug at first m'self!

Gina, I can't access your page... I'm going to try to update Adobe and see if that will work for me.

Maggie, get well SOON!
healing thoughts

Nancy!, what a great spider!
shiver

I have stared and stared at it, wondering how to even begin something like that...

Kathy that Milk weed beetle is wicked awesome. (Wicked being the massachusetts equivalent of very very very very super very) It has that realistic look that I'm ever so jealous of

Thanks so much for the well wishes I didn't get sick in 3 years and I though I was going to get away without it this year too
Gina, I love those hats but not enough to have another baby, well... maybe just a little

Kathy your beetle is brilliant!!

Everyone is doing so great with the insects, they all look so real. I can't quite get the hang of it. aaahhh so frustrating!! oh well back to practise for me.

hahaha no-ones posted since i went to practise. this is what my frustration lead me to!!! It's meant to be a close up freaky fly head thingy hehehe what the??? I saw this image on the net and tried to replicate it into face paint. Mmm it was fun anyway.

WOW!! Rae, that's fantastic. I just took a quick look on the site, because i'm workin actually (addicted, i know) and had to log in to let you know.
During your posts i was sleeping, sorry, different timezones. Isn't it wonderful that we all can communicate this way living on the other side of the world?
Logging out now and back to work.

Rae that rocks!

WOW WOW WOW Rae! That is so freakishly scary cool! the shading, the line work, the blending, all I can say is WOW!

I just know I don't wish to be bitten by anything that has that many teeth........

OK I just decided I am officially over looking at my face(avatar) without some paint on it...goin to change it righttttt now.

That beatle is phenomenal!! love love

Rae, thats awesome...like that u took a leap and did a whole face. Well done.

I'm officially freaked out by that awesome fly-face-thingy!!

thanks guys, i gotta say may favourtie part was those teeth!!

Mizzard, thanks so much!!
gets "wicked".... *g* I told my husband what you said, and he told me that he had NO DOUBT that I could do wicked.... I'm fair certain his definition is nothing close to yours... laugh
I used a photograph from Google to go by.. I'm not very good at creating things from my imagination....



Rae, thanks!!
LOVE your fly... for a moment, I thought that you had REAL hair sprouting out of your forehead!!!! *L*
(some sort of prosthetic hair thingy... )

What color did you use around your eyes?

These posts are great!

I googled my scarab too

Mizzard, glad to know that I'm not the only one!


I thought you did a fabulous job on the beetle's legs.... mine kind of ran together... but, yours looked so segmented.... and real....

loved them!
