Big-eyed bright bugs!

These were made for a lady who has 3 children, 2, 8 and 11. The older two are boys, the little one is her ‘princess.’

I was trying to think of a cookie design they’d all enjoy, and eventually settled on insects! What boy doesn’t like creepy-crawlies, especially the thought of eating them (better they eat these than that long slimey worm from the garden right,) and what princess isn’t enchanted by red and black spotty ladybugs.

With that in mind I set out making a set of big-eyed, bright coloured bugs complete with spots and stripes and patterns. I really hope they arrive safely (I’m posting these out) and the children love eating them as much as I loved making them.

I might just have to call them my ‘love bugs.’  I think the bugs would like that…
