Beautiful beetles

'Beetles' was the prompt word for one of the drawing challenges from The Tuesday Collective on Instagram recently, so I decided to work up this colourful beetle design into a repeat pattern. Each beetle has a stylised pattern on it and a variety of colours that make it sing! To top it off, I used a rich teal background to help the colours jump out. I'm looking forward to adding this print to my Spoonfliwer shop soon. Watch this space! 

The colour palette I chose was a rich jewel tones palette of reds, oranges, yellow and pinks. It was a lot of fun to work with.

Doodle bugs

 Last week's Soonflower design challenge was 'Doodle Bugs' so I created this loosely-drawn print incorporating, beetles, ladybirds, moths and butterflies.

I can't decide which background colour I prefer....

This print would look great on the wall of a child's bathroom.

It would also look great as a feature wall in a child's bedroom.
