If you’re familiar with the TV series and book Lonesome Dove you will recognize Po Campo, the camp cook on the drive to Montana. As he got his job by offering up some crispy insects I thought I would add one to create a little interest to the piece. I carved the body of the Grasshopper and then, using wire for the legs and some monofilament fishing line for the antenna, spent almost as much time painting it as I did with Campo.
Hope you like him.
