HOW TO:

Basecoat the body Black. Paint face with AC Flesh. Paint egg shape with Black and Yellow stripes. Float the top and bottom of yellow stripes with Black. Sand the edges of both shapes. Make a wash of Walnut Gel Stain and apply to all pieces (wipe off excess). Add face detail with a Black Pigma Pen and blush cheeks with rouge (powder blush). Drill holes through the top of the egg shape and through the chest of the body shape. Attach both pieces together by threading wire through the egg and body shapes and back up over the shoulders of the body shape. Drill holes in the top of the body shape for inserting antennas. Twist wire for antennas and attach using glue. Cut 4 pieces of wire approximately 5 1/2" long. Make wings with these pieces (you will have 4 teardrop shapes). Glue ends together in the back.
