My submission for Doodlers Anonymous Coloring Book 2.

I had a busy week ... so I ended up spending all day yesterday finishing it.

Crossing my fingers, I hope it makes the cut.

Fun with MagicStamps

I finally had a chance to play with my Magic Stamps!

Magic Stamps are foam pieces that you heat with a heat gun, press into any textured item & they retain the impression.  Then you are able to use them as stamps.  You can reheat the foam and "erase" the texture and reuse them over and over.

I made stamps from buttons, a woven basket (top left), rice (lower left), a Whitman's tin (the barn image), and the dots are from the top of my cable box!

Magic Stamps are a fun & easy way to make some quick home-made stamps.  I see several textured objects around here now that I want to use to make stamps!

Winter birds watching the end of 2011 pass by

This is my last moleskine page for 2011. Printed papers with pen and ink drawing over top.  Have a safe & happy New Years eve.

Scribble Doodles : Snowman

I am having a lot of fun with my Doodle books!   When I flip through them, I am filled with so many ideas.

This is another page from my Scribble Doodles Christmas book.

The thought bubble was blank with the prompt "What is this person thinking right now?"

PS. It may be to small to see here, but I drew the carrot with a bite taken out. (oh no!)

Scribble Doodles : Christmas Candy Cane

This is a page from my Christmas Scribble Doodles book.

Doodled with Staedtler Triplus fineliner pens ...
I gotta say, this took FOREVER!

Anyhow, I like how it turned out. Kinda' busy and crazy. Just like this holiday season has been so far.

Hope you have a happy, busy, crazy kind of Christmas!

Something Old

Below is a page from my big hardcover sketchbook. The page has dates on it from 2005-2006.  Mainly hand carved stamped images, stickers, and random doodling. 

This little face is my favorite thing on the page.  Pen and ink doodled over colored pencils.  (I ruined more pens that way - clogging the tips with pencil wax)

I will be wrapping up my holiday sales season soon & should be posting more frequently.
