How adorable. great lady bug !

That is the cutest thang! Clever too!

I'm still considering the 1/2-ball ones that sit in the garden...I forgot how to split the ball in half, though. Anyone remember?

Too cute! Gotta love it!

Love the expression! Bet your DD loves it! I understand loving them - who couldn't with all the wonderful things they do to help our gardens.

That is just adorable! You did a great job on it! Wish I had one. LOL

Very cute, thanks for sharing.

Oh my gosh!! That is so cute! Where did you get the lips??????

Very VERy cute. What did that person mean. "split a bb"?

Now that is the cutest BB I've seen, hope you don't mind but I'm going to use your idea (maybe). I saved a pic of painted Ladybug BB's and attach it below. This is how I was going to do three BB's. You did an awesome job. Are the antennas in the finger holes, then filled up with wood glue? Yes, where did you get those lips, are they painted on. Again, so very cute and original.

I cut my BB in half with a saws-all. We used a
concrete block to set it on, I turned the ball,
and Bill did the cutting. It was not hard to do.
It was one of the older black BBs, not one of
the plastic ones.
I love the marbled ladybug!

very cute! she should be great garden luck!

Thanks for all the nice comments. The lips are ceramic and I found them on ebay and yes I put the antenna in the finger hole then filled it. My daughter hasn't seen it yet, it's gonna be a Christmas present. Now I have to work on one for my other daughter!

So cute! I need to do one for my GS he loves them also.

How darlin' is THAT?!! What an expression - appears to be saying "whatcha gonna feed me today?" Very nice and so creative.

She is just sooo purty!! I'm with Slow, she has a great expression on her face... I expect her to wink at me! You've done an excellent job there. Love it!

Hi nonacook-
I think mine is a newer 'plastic' type. Not sure as I'm not 'up' on bbs. The sawzall really worked, huh? I'll get the DH to help, or else I'm certain to make a mess.

That is sooooooooooooooo cute,just love the expression on her face ,and those lips are the best.Good job!!!!

craftylady-2006) i just saw the pics of the lady bug bowling bug and its adorable what did you attach to the bowling ball to make the black face
if anyone else has made this please share
thanks

Mustafa - That is only a pic in a magazine, I believe the black faces are painted on. I started basecoating one red since last year and haven't finished it yet. I am using enamel paints and an outdoor sealer to protect it from the elements.
