Welcome to the first of a series of interviews about artists who garden. Today's interview will be with LindaLunda, a ceramic artist and fellow Blotanical blogger Tradgardsdraken, from Sweden.
1. What is your art, hobby or craft? How did you come to creating it?I work in Clay/Ceramics. Becours we live in a country with cold winters I only work with stonwhere-clay so that I can have my ceramic outside even if it´s get a bit frosty.
I have always, even as a child liked to play Clay. When I was little I loved to play with playdoe and that cind of kids toy.
Most of my skills I have learnd my self. I have been attended some amaturesclasses when I was yonger to.
2. What is your inspiration?My insperation is fairetales, Fantasystorys/films, Vikings, dragons, Historys about old coultures and more.
I do look at my childrens movies and sometimes finds nice things there that gives me insperation.
And boks from the past, like when my mother was young gives me a great insperation.
Sometimes I see something in a friends garden or on the internet that I fancy and get going on that .. to translate it in to clay. Like my gargoyle.
3. How does your garden or nature influence your art?
And I like when I have placed one of my objekt that its there but maby you dont notice at once.
4. Will you share some pictures of your garden with us?
5. A picture of your favorite plant?
Do I have to chose only One! I love so many!!!

6. Do you have a favorite public garden to recommend?
7. Any photos of your art in the garden?
8. What is the best lesson you have learned from the garden or nature?
That nothing never grows(showes) like you plan it to. The plants has there on way and will!
9. Do you have a gardening tip to share with fellow gardeners?
Dont make you garden to something you have to do fore other people... Its supose to be a place to relax and enjoy even when you cut the lown(grass).
10. Show us your favorite creation.

Hi Karrita and Linda, I am a big fan of you both! It was a pleasure to hear Linda speak about her art and her garden. Especially where she gets inspiration. As a true creative spirit, she can find inspiration eveywhere! Well done to you too, Karrita with questions that the readers love to hear the answers to! Wonderful!

I really adore the dragon
Well I enjoyed that very much. I didn't know all that about Linda and what a treat to find out. I like her sleeping dragon best too.
Love your photos, and yes, Linda has great art.
Kind regards,
Lydia
oh, this is wonderful.
Such a pretty garden and a very talented artist.
I absolutely love the sleeping dragon, he's magic!
Hi Karrita and Linda thank you for a lovely post. Karrita, what a great idea I look forward to more posts in the series, I hope you will do one where 'you' answer the same questions!
Linda as you know I love your ceramics if I was ever without family ties I would love to come to one of your courses - I can dream!
Best wishes to you both Sylvia (England)
Well, I know my plants don't always grow as I intend them to! I love the art. It has taken me years to figure out just what kind of art I would like in my garden- I kinda like turtles and can't ever find them. I work with clay and have often thought of making a miniature hidden country town with little creatures- this does inspire me. Some day maybe! :)- thanks for visiting today!
That was such a cool interview. Linda in very good at ceramics! I though about doing some interviews also. Thanks a ton!

How wonderful to hear from Linda about her artwork. I love all the photos she provided, both of her work and the garden itself. What fun it must be to stroll through the garden and stumble upon some of those ceramic pieces!
How lovely to do a series of posts about Artists who Garden. It is great to get to know LindaLunda a bit more through her art and her garden.
Thank you both

Thank you to all who left a comment on Linda Lunda's interview! I agree 100% with everything you all said. Linda is an amazing artist both in the garden and her ceramic art. I so enjoyed getting to know her through this interview and the pictures she shared with us.
To those of you that commented on me doing an interview of myself. Maybe someday...after the "Artists in the garden" series is finished.
Wishing all a good day!
