Notice how I said, “whistler” and not “whisperer”. That’s because if one was to whisper the ladybugs probably couldn’t hear you. But Curt here is able to whistle rather loudly. By the looks of these ladybugs, they must have heard him all the way to Texas from Californie. hehe Confused once again, please go here …..continuing on….
Mutnik, thatÂ’s me, is the one that taught our Curt how to whistle using his two front hoofs. Took some doing, but he finally got it. Sort of like me way back when, I self taught myself to whistle using four fingers, two from each hand. One day I was sitting on the pot blowing and blowing and blowing when all of a sudden out came this whistle. And I have been whistling ever since.
I could whistle so loud, that my sis and cousin would take me when they went cruising down Main Street. I would whistle at all the boys, and then duck down in the back seat. hehe Those were the days. I have since learned to do it with two fingers on one handÂ…..a lot more convenient Â….Â….. now my card detailsÂ…..
Was looking through my many boxes of stamps and came across these lady bugs I didn’t even know I had. My sis had sent these to me a looooong time ago. So I stamped them on white cs panel, sketched in Curt and the flower stem and leaf. Colored with copics and added the “note” for the whistling part.
For the bg, I scorÂ’d the sidewalk for the ladybugs to walk on and the fence behind for the ladybugs and flower. Colored the bg with prisma pencils and gamsol and added a bow.
Well, thatÂ’s it for today. Hope you have enjoyed another Teapot Tuesday with CurtÂ…..TFL :0)
Hi Sis! Hi NC Sis!

I see Curt loves to whistle, but did he learn at the same place as you? LOL
You're too funny with that story. Love to see your work....always have a smile when I do.

Curt looks like the Pied Piper, he has those ladybugs trained so well. Whistling is something I can't do. Many friends have tried to teach me. I remember one night in a bar (many many years ago) where it ended up most of the people there had a shot at trying to teach me and the best I could muster was an inhaling whistle! Not one of my shining moments. I must say it hasn't held me back in life!

You keep me ROFLMBO Cathy!!! I like your story about how you or maybe it's where you learned how to whistle! Kinda make me question, where from are ya whistling? And you've been whistling ever since, that could be kinda scary.
Anyhow, It sure looks as if Curt's got the whistling down pat and from the looks of it, he's pretty darn good! Maybe that's what was happening that time I was hiking out at Point Reyes and 1000's of Ladybugs were a flying.
I love all your ladybugs that Curt has corralled for Julie, and there's even the big yellow daisy too! Curt makes a great ladybug whistler, even with his big blue crossed eyes!!!
Curt, your talents are amazing. You are an adorable bovine and I think you should advertise this new talent. People whose rose bushes are inundated with pesky aphids could hire you to attract ladybugs to eradicate them. The roses are healthier and the ladybugs well fed. Can't get any more ecological than that. Your card will provide Julie with the best medicine Laughter!
