C is for caterpillar

Hiya,

Today my A-Z challenge letter is C! For some reason when I was on the phone I kept doodling caterpillars! So I thought I would turn one into a pattern.

I used Adobe Illustrator to create my little critter.  It's definitely still a work in progress.

 

 

I used a simple leaf motif in the background. I'm not 100% happy with it, so will keep working on it.

 

See you soon

Today my feature Friday is about the beautiful work of Lotta Jansdotter. I first came across her work on Pinterest and LOVED IT!
 
Her work is bold and beautiful. She uses simple motifs and simple skills like potato printing to aid her work. Lotta's colour choices are gorgeous and influenced by her Scandinavian heritage.

A quote from her website says 'Can't find what you want? Make it! Don't know how? Learn it!' I think that is a fab motto to live by.
 

 

 

I recently bought one of her books to learn how to print with array of different tools.  The book is filled with gorgeous photographs of her work and simple step-by step guides on how to print with anything from potatoes to leaves! It's so inspiring and really got my creative juices flowing.

 

Its definitely worth checking out her website and pinterest, they are very inspiring!

 

See you soon
