Creative Tuesdays - Lovebug!

Welcome to the month of May!

Creative Tuesdays is weekly once again!  Please visit the other talented participants, or better still, join us!

For the Lovebug theme, I was inspired by this pattern I noticed in the local paper. It's a floral pattern into which circuits were embedded, a design for an electric blanket.   My version is painted in acrylic on cardstock paper (9" x 5 1/4 ").

My granddaughter would get such a kick out of this. She is such a big ladybug fan and this has just the right touch of whimsy.

Very whimsical. Interesting to see what you extracted from that original design and made your own.

Love your lovebugs! The pattern is very artistic, it looks like "batik", a Malay art. I also like the colors Christine.

You are an inspiration! My granddaughter's nickname is coccinelle (FR: ladybug) We have so many things with them on: plates, bowls, bibs, and toys!
I love this. well done.
We have a new critter, named Fred! !

p.p.s. You made my day when you printed out the peacock! It truly made me so, so happy (I tried to respond, but I guess it was a "no-reply comment")
