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!

In the right place, in the right room... for sure.

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.
