This week my work space was invaded by bugs, ladybugs to be more precise. I suppose part of it was due to keeping an eye on The Sofi’s World blog, but I was also keen to expand my newly learned skills with dangle earrings and I thought that ladybugs would look lovely on them.

The occasion also came useful to experiment on a pattern of white flowers on red on the ladybug’s wings, inspired by Japanese prints and fabrics.

Esta semana o meu espaço de trabalho foi invadido por insectos, joaninhas em particular. Suponho que parte da influência veio do facto de acompanhar o blog The Sofi’s World, mas também estava cheia de vontade de experimentar as minhas técnicas recém adquiridas em brincos de pendurar, e pensei que as joaninhas seriam uma óptima forma de começar.

E aproveitando a oportunidade, acabei também por experimentar um padrão de flores brancas sobre vermelho nas asas das joaninhas, inspirado em pinturas e tecidos japoneses.
