This is Lady bug that was sold on opening night of Artopia exhibition on tuesday. Pat Judd & I sold a piece each that night.
The substrate is wire & cement form mold by me & the feet & feelers are cut from a wire candle holder. The tiles are glass byzantii. I loved the reflections they had..like a shimmering bugs wings. the eyes are glass beads set into the gluegrout. The grout was then painted with irredesent glass paint. Yes, a lot of time & thought went into this one.
