Hot, but creepy. Not good for someone with bug issues.

Not, because $68 is a lot for a pillow. And because it makes me think of the cockroach I found in my bed just the other day. So gross!!!

I don't like bugs and I'm not too keen on rug hooking. I see how it could fit in a shabby chic or country interior.

I don't like bugs. It's kind of a shame they're so hairy and creepy, and exoskeletal, because they're often also very shiny, gauzy, and colorful, not to mention models of organization, cooperation and intelligence.

I like the bugs, I'm just not loving the hooked rug part of it.

I guess bugs are the new taxidermy deer heads. I'm starting to see 'em a lot.

Bugs are great if they kinda don't look like bugs. And they don't touch me.

i think they're fun -- like the contrast of the acid green & orange with the hooked rug. i wish the bugs in my house looked like that!

Bugs aren't sexy. But they're sexy.

SUPER HOT.

But yes, too expensive.

As a crafty type I'm always looking for patterns that aren't "cute-n-fuzzy bunnies", so these ROCK in that respect. On the other hand, hooking is kinda 1970s, and holy cow! $68?? Nah.

I love these! I love their symmetry. They are little "edgier" than a bird on a pillow.
