Rose had been in my plans for a long time but I was
afraid to start her because I expected her wings would give me lots of
headaches. I wanted to include a mandala motif in her wings, I spent long hours
experimenting, combining colours and …”frogging” (i.e. ripping out) before I
could come up with something I liked. Despite everything I had a wonderful time
designing and then crocheting Rose, her smiling face makes me proud and rewards
me of all the efforts.
Rose is my third insect and she is part of a bigger project
of mine. In my fantastic world she is the fiancée of Dan Bumblebee which is the
first insect of this project. The series will end with a fiancé for Lily
Ladybug but I have not decided yet which insect might be… looking forward to
it!
