A "wee thing" for Jean's MMTPT challenge this week, going to Anna in Illinois.
Jean mentioned ladybirds - I have one, as well as what must be the minutest bird in existence if they are in scale. I made the purple one for Anna and the green one for my stash - after Lisa's recent 3D paper piecing challenge I want to make sure to use my glue up before it sets in the tube.
I'll add a photo showing dimension in the challenge thread. I think there are four layers on the teddy, plus the base. He's coloured with Polychromos pencils, Glossy Accents on the ladybird, Liquid Pearls for flower centres.
The frames are cut from an old cereal box, embossed (SU square lattice, purple, Cuttlebug Textile, green), gessoed and then coloured with gelatos. I popped them up on foam over the 3D bears. The purple base is just plain, the green one has been embossed with SU's pine planks (?) ef.

Beautifully done! I like them both. The wood-grain background on the green one is so nice. The 3-D layering is amazing. Love the sweet, small images. Well done! TFS
