Hi everyone!

In the last two days I made a few more bugs but struggled with them yesterday.

This is a common routine… I start a new series with kind of “beginner’s luck” β everything goes fast and smooth and I think that making bugs on flowers is the easiest, most fun thing I could ever do.

But then about the third day in I start to have trouble. I seem to get timid for some reason, and then, in response, overwork stuff.

This bug-in-tree was in the overworked category big time, but it looks better now that I’ve scanned it.

The recent bugs aren’t the only bugs I’ve made. Here are a few I did two years ago for a friend… their three-person family.

Buzzzzzzzz…….
How did you do these? Did you start with a blob of paint?NorrisSent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
Yes, I start with a watercolor “blob” shape. π
Love these bugs!
Love the twirling wings! (Maybe a bug workshop in the future?π)
They make me happy!
LOVE the bugs! Wonderful energy and expressions.
For a long time I thought I was the only person who experienced that “beginner’s luck” feeling. Easy starts, full of joy – then bogged down with missteps, self-doubt. But many people feel it. Some use it as an excuse to quit or change paths (guilty! π). Thanks for the “buggy” reminder to keep going.
