Doodling Over the Top

I used to quilt. I didn't finish enough quilting projects to suit me. So, I draw now, and get more finished. I might suffer from a wee bit of attention deficit, and it's getting worse as I age. I can't stick with large projects like I used to. This overly involved "Doodle Quilt" barely got done. It is my ode to pattern, or perhaps it's just a great way to spend a lot of ink.

Doodling Meditation

Sometimes you have to tell yourself something you already know. I doodle things I already know. I like to think of doodling as a way of talking to myself.

A Leafy Leaf

I like patterns. The idea to fill a leaf with more leaves just seemed intriguing to me. It would be fun to do a series like this: A Leaf of Leaves; A Face of Faces; A Cup of Cups; An Idea of Ideas.

EDM 239 - Something that Scares Me

Hopefully, this speaks for itself. I was unhappy with how this turned out, but maybe it fits the subject matter. Regret makes bad art! Heavy, huh?

Doodle Feathers

Another obsessive doodle. It wasn't intended to look like feathers, but that's what happens to your art sometimes. It surprises you!

Overwrought Doodling

Yup. Leave it to me to take something inherently simple like doodling and utterly over-think it. Put a fine-line pen in my hand and I'll obsess. It's a gift!

EDM 240 - A Favorite Pencil

I Iike my pencils hard and not too black. I hated the No. 2 pencils required to take standardized tests in school.
