Continuing my meditations into the gentle pleasures of the English country plot. A ladybird rendered in a deep red enamel, with just enough translucency to be lit from below by bright metal. Enamel is perfect vehicle for richness of colour & an irresistibly attractive lustre, complemented by some super sparkly Swarovski clear crystals for the insect's eyes. A charming tribute to the iconic, familiar Summer garden visitor with his smart red & spotted uniform.
