She Who Doodles

Real doodling again, pen and ink, black ink only.  It feels so good, it's been awhile.  It started by doing research for an art class for 9 to 12 year olds.  Now that I started I can't stop. here's a few examples. Now to put them on cards, and stuff. Thanks for visiting. Cyndee

If you are on Facebook then you have probably seen the post about the wife who doodled on her husbands car .   Well I have been challenged by a friend to do the same.  But before I start I think I need a little more info.  Not sure about the finish.  It rains in the Northwest.  I know I can doodle on anything.  I started with a note pad, which grew to a larger journal, then I tried other objects just to see if I could do it.  I purchased used picture frames and covered with torn paper then finished with a doodle.  Wow, these turned out pretty cool and people bought them.  So lets see what else I can find to recycle.  I progressed to a large wood clock, some old cobbler shoe forms, a serving tray and little boxes.  I've done shirts, and even some small furniture pieces.  I recently finished a large 3 panel canvas combining the mixed media and doodles.  So what's a car, just a little bigger canvas for doodling....

So I'm a day late, that's how retirement goes these days.  Can't complain,  if it doesn't happen today I'll get to it tomorrow, maybe. Wanted you all over at Julia's Stamping Ground to see my workdesk this week.  Since my doodling goes with me, I can work from anyplace.  I really wanted to be outside, we've had really warm weather and I wanted to enjoy it while it last. I'm working on a piece for a gallery submission.  The show is Black & White, have to have it submitted by the 15th. Just another little addition to my Etsy Shop I wanted to show you,  I started making prints of my doodles in ACEO size.  I started with 4 different prints, 2 of them are the ones shown in the Sep/Oct issue of Cloth Paper Scissors . Hope everybody is busy crafting. Have a great day. Thanks for visiting. Hugs Cyndee On Thursday check out Meri's Blog for Share the Joy Thursday .

Wow, it's been over a month since I last posted.  The holidays were great, lots of family time and relaxation. Now on to the new year, but not sure of the direction I'm going this year.  My sales at the art fairs were not what I had hoped, so need to rethink my products.   But I have found some time to play with my new toy,  since I broke my little notebook computer my honey got me and ipad.  Now I have to  learn how to use it,  the available apps are endless.  But I have tried the Doodle Buddy app.  Here's the results of my doodling around. I need a stylus to use rather then my finger.  Love the little stamps that can be added.  I think I like the color idea, I've  always done my doodles black on white.  I might check out some other colors.   No new years resolutions this year,  I never seem to stick with them anyway.  How are you doing,  sticking to those resolutions? I do need to...
