Crustaceans

June is already here! Summer is coming! Though summer in Canada is not very hot, this is my favourite season of the year! 

Last week, I submitted designs of two plates for Home Décor Market for Lilla Rogers Bootcamp. The assignment for May was ‘Marine Mashup’ using crustaceans and some elements of patterns. I made a lobster and a crab using geometric forms – that was really fun! There are a lot of great designs on the class gallery right HERE, which I can look over and over!

Thank you to Kat, who featured me on her wonderful creative blog. You can find her post about her favourite designs right HERE. I love all of these designs too!

June is the last month for our Bootcamp. It is a shame that there is no Summer Bootcamp – I would join it!

Terrarium doodles

Recently, I made some sketches of imaginary terrariums. My original plan was to make a sketch of one object/item a day and to have a collection of 365 icons in a year. Instead, I made a bunch of terrariums and took a break. I liked my little doodles of terrariums. I played with them in Illustrator and some of them transformed into vases and jugs.  Some examples are below.

I really like small cute vases, jars, jugs, and unusual bottles. I am trying to control myself and not to transform my house into a storage facility for them. Hopefully, making small doodles is a good way to restrain that passion. Probably more doodles are coming...
