Feeling Inspired

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....

Project Update

I've been busy building up stock for summer festivals.  Thought I'd share a few photos of my latest projects.   The large collaged, recycled picture frame with matted doodle is going to Galley 360 this week for an open Mixing It Up Show for May.   I've been buying frames at the Thrift Stores to recycle with doodles, collage and lots of vintage buttons.  The bird houses are also recycled thrifty store items.   Now that I'm retired and have the time I've been experimenting with combining my mixed media with my doodles.  I'm really enjoying the combinations of handmade papers with doodles.  And there's my faithful companion that never leaves my side.  I love my Fritzy. Happy Easter to everyone, hope you are spending some time with family and friends.  Thanks for visiting. Hugs, Cyndee
