Thank you so much! Creating bugs is such a blast!… And they always are different every time you create them!… These are just a few different designs I’ve done and there are so many more that could be created.

I’ve got to make some of these to climb up my balcony wall. So adorable. I love the eyelashes on the 2nd one. I laughed when you placed them on her. Imagine a bug fluttering their eyelashes at you.

[@lorijaneiro8999]

So I really rolled with these owls. I made dolphins hummingbirds. Fish. Turtles. And more what a way you got my mind going again. I had a roomie that just burnt me out on thought got rid of her and I'm still a year later coming back to focus on my art!!!! Never again will I allow one to steal my juice. And I have you to watch if one ever does!!! Ty so much!!! Keep on keeping on!

[@laurajschiller]

[@laurajschiller]

Ohhhh my goodness!! Wow!! Thank you for this compliment, Miss Lori!!..and letting me know how my videos and have helped you get through!! As to what you are going through, I understand this. Don't let anyone take your mojo...and if possible, you will recognize when someone does this sooner. I remember having this happen to me, and starting to recognize it for what it is and then taking measures to distance and eventually leaving people like this to preserve who I am and what I create. Let your light shine, lady!! Sending you my biggest of big hugs!! :)

Love these!! What brand of wire are you using?

[@laurajschiller]

Well, thank you for that Miss Karen! I’m thrilled, but you love these little guys!… As to brand name on the wire… Actually, it’s just a generic wire. It’s a floral wire I buy at the Joann’s store from their floral section. And I can honestly say that I love that wire. I’ve used it for many many years. I hope this helps a little bit and as always, sending you big hugs!🤗❤️👍🏻

[@aoifesmyth3881]

Such a fun tutorial Laura! Thank you for sharing with us! Can I ask what gauge wire you use? TIA 😊

[@laurajschiller]

Thank you so much!… I did have a blast creating these little bugs. They were fantastic!! …as to the wire, I used 22 gauge wire with my bugs most all of the time. I do hope that helps and sending you my biggest hugs!🤗❤️👍🏻
