This is the second in the series. I painted the image with thickened dyes on cotton fabric. There is a more informative (read: loquacious) post about the dye-painting here.
I used a wool batt and cotton threads for the quilting.
The beetle was pretty blah -- you can't get sparkle with dyes -- so I used a bit of black Misty-fuse and some foil to give it that shine.
And the backside. I mentioned in a previous post (here) that I purchased some inexpensive cotton that's a bit heavier than the stuff I use for most of my dyeing and piecing (and other evil experiments...). I dyed it especially for hiding stuff on backsides. Pretty slick, huh? Bwahahahaha....!

And more wow! Yes, very clever!
In Australia, we use the word "backside" as a polite way of referring to that part of the anatomy on which one sits! Same language? So they say!
Again.... I like the back... but much harder to see the quilting on this backing.... I like the beetle better on this one tho.
