My husband's Grannie turns 80 this weekend. (I love this woman! she is up there with my own grandma in my book! and thats saying a lot.)
She has been telling me for a year that when she turns 80 she wants to get a Ladybug tattooed on her shoulder....to which I always respond "OKAY!! I'll go with you, we can get matching ones!!"

well....her and I are the only ones in the family who think this is a good idea...*shrug* so she has decided not to (although she said today, she still might...shhh! hehe)
I debated...I almost went and got the tattoo for her as a birthday gift...
and then I searched around for a temporary tattoo for her...no luck
so my final thought was....well...a pony's symbol is kinda like a tattoo....maybe I'll make her a custom ladybug....

so I started this baby last night, and got her done today around noon, snapped a few shots and put her in a birthday bag.

DG Fakie, re-rooted with real pony hair robbed...er.... borrowed from (shoot whats that pony's name...with the lolly?...um Sweet Sparkle)

her eyes and symbol and spots where painted with acrylic.

Her wing covers where made with sculpy (I didn't have the 24 hours for the apoxie to cure) but I mixed some of my red and white sculpy to make the color, and once i baked her and re-assembled her I coated them in glitter.
I also added some plastic from a pony box to create the translucent wings that are under the spotted wing covers.
