Connect the dots…

Or join the dots, as I fondly recall, were actually, 

as opposed to word searches which were honestly like some kind of form of kiddy torture.
If you’ve been bad, a word search, and if good, a join the dots.

Or at least the was my first impression.
It was a bag found in one of the cheap bag cages at the back of the shop, I didn’t buy the bag obviously, I mean it didn’t look very sturdy, but the surface print was just so interesting I had to have a good look. Snuck in a few photos too. 

The forms are fairly abstract but clearly butterfly like in shape, and some looking like flowers or petals, made out of this strange cross hatching and black simplified petal shapes.

A closing note this interesting scale like pattern
made from petal like shapes with this 

cross hatching that is reminiscent of netting and structures of grids.

Orange balloon, black fineliner

At least, I assume its black fine liner.
Any way a friend of mine at university found this piece of balloon in an artist's studio
- originally it was whole.

It's kind of hard to photograph some things,

deflated balloons is now one of them.

From the above image you can see the simple shapes 

forming vines and leaves, and a little butterfly in the centre. 

Amazingly simple, it works best though on top of the bright orange background of a balloon.

And blurred image above - I couldn't resist throwing something blurred in.
