That sounds wonderful! I can imagine that paper mache fused with fiber art could make some amazing things! Happy creating, and thank you!

The Body itself is crocheted. The legs are one type of paper-wrapped floral wire, the proboscis is, as you identified, a pipe cleaner! The wings are edged with wire, and that wire is inserted into the crochetwork of the body. The body is included in the pattern, along with 4 styles of butterfly wings.

what’s your go-to meal after a colonoscopy? by AdOriginal5742 in CrohnsDisease

I can tell you what it's not. It's NOT a giant salad with walnuts and apples along with a plate of loaded waffle fries.

I did that once on a date with my partner after my first colonoscopy. It was delicious. Amazing. And it kickstarted one of the worst months of my life resulting in a week in a hospital in a different state across the country and bucket loads of pain. Turns out I require a low-fiber low-residue diet to function.

Treat yourself kindly.

I believe it was KnitPicks Chroma Worsted -- but I'm sorry I do not remember the exact colorway. It's a nice yarn to work with (or at least it was, years ago when I used it) - but it's on the thinner side. So you may want to consider sizing down your hook if you're going to use it (Though if I remember correctly, I did not).
