Great idea. Unfortunately, the bug is dead and the legs' and antennas' posture just emphasizes this fact. So the whole impression is ruined :(

This technique can be done conservative as it is and simply it make a huge statement it the life of an american woman reminds of old days growing up and the rituale of, my mom and sister every moring before school. and how she is not the beutiqueen yet but after she finishes whe will be done putting on who she is to the woprld. Nice use of fairily simple quipment as well. Thankyou for the memory Brittney for the memory my sister passed 18 years ago the is picture moved me dearly . Yet Mom still caries on the ritual.
