The Gooseberry Wife is a Folklore originating from the Isle of Wight in England she is a caterpillar witch who protect gooseberries from naughty children. I felt I had to research into this because of how obscure and specific this creature is I had no idea that gooseberries were so prolific on the Isle of Wight that they needed their own mythical protector.
I started my design by looking at different species of caterpillar and drawing the features on them that I found most interesting after looking at various different species I started to form my design by combining both elements of a caterpillar and elements of a woman. I also attempted to incorporate gooseberry bushes in my design. I like this design but I do not feel like it is recognizable enough let alone scary for my subject.
