I think every plant needs a friend, and what better than a fancy ladybug!

This listing is for one Gilded Rose Stripes Ladybug Plant Poke. The wings of this ladybug are covered with a soft blue/green with stripes of rose which have been gilded with gold leaf. The body is covered by black and white stripes. The ladybug measures 3 inches from wingtip to the tip of her nose and is about 3 inches across. The antennae are hammered gold wire.

Each ladybug is handmade by me from unwrapping the package of Premo (my preferred brand of polymer clay), through the process of conditioning, color-mixing, adding texture and sculpting to adding beads, shaping and using a chasing hammer to harden wire for the antenna.

After the initial baking, a channel is added to hold the wooden dowel "poke". After the second baking, a protective glaze is applied and the funky chicken plant poke is ready to add a touch of whimsy to your favorite plant.
