Ms. Erg has recently created a line of very realistic ladybug pins that are all the rage. And she has not created just one ladybug pin, but an entire collection. She produces precise reproductions o f eleven different species of our favorite little creature. Each is hand cast in silver and then carefully enameled in realistic colors. Since each pin is the actual size of a real ladybug, this is very pains-taking art work! Ms. Eng created the jewelry in part to draw attention to the rich bio-diversity of life in even a single family of insect. However, if she had goes on to replicate every species of ladybug she has a lot of work to do. There are approximately 5000 known species of ladybugs in the world! On her blog Diana Eng shows how she created these ladybug pins. (Check out her blog on finger nail painting inspired by her pins.)
