He's totally made of real gold work supplies, I just couldn't do him justice using cheaper products, and the lady he will belong to deserves the best. He's 3 inches long and 1 1/2 inch wide, so he's quiet large, he will be the main feature of the block. I'm also wanting to add a large flower on the white section to complement him, an Australian Waratah was what I had in mind. I will have to cover him carefully so that he's stays crisp for his long journey home.

Wow, Arlene! That's one beetle I wouldn't mind in the house! How gorgeous.
Thank you Cathy and Annette,
he was a labor of love, he took several hours to make, but well worth it. And Yes Annette, I'm feeling better, my back doesn't hurt as much today. Arlene

Oh, Arlene, he's just gorgeous! If all bugs looked like that, we'd all be collecting them instead of stepping on them!
