Doodle all the Day

Another random pattern doodle done with Faber Castell Indian Ink PITT artist pen.

Maybe I need to stop pattern drawing and go back to some real drawing ...

I Promise

For the past couple of months I was having some serious problems with my hands.   I was unable to stitch (my livelyhood) & had to cut back on my art and hobbies.   Needless to say, I was pretty down.

My sweetie said to me, "I promise that things will get better."   I wanted to believe it ... but sometimes it's hard to keep the faith when you're down.   So, I made this page in my moleskine notebook to reinforce the message.

It has been about 8 weeks now & things have indeed gotten better.   My hands have almost completely recovered.   I am stitching again & making art again.   Yay!

The page was done in acrylic paint and lined with Indian ink.

Drip, Drip, Drip

A page from my "Wreck This Journal".   The instructions: "Drip Something here. (Ink, Paint, Tea) Close the book to make a print."

I dripped ink to start ... it bled through too many pages and didn't really splatter enough.   I switched to acrylic paint and had some fun.   I think the paint looks like a crazy colorful crab of some sort.

I added the doodles later ~ just because.

Wonderful Weekend

We have been having terrific weather in Atlanta this week.   Hooray!

I was at the park yesterday feeding the ducks, when a flock of blackbirds swooped in for a quick bite.   I love the iridescent blue color of the feathers on their heads.

This page was drawn & colored with Indian ink pens and colored pencils.   I plan to fill the lake area with writing ... probably one of my corny poems.

Bloomin' Like Crazy

I spent most of the day out and about, enjoying the beautiful weather.   The trees have started blooming all around the city, which brought to mind this crazy doodle page in my moleskine notebook.

I drew this awhile back, but never got around to posting it.   As usual ... drawn and colored with Faber Castell pens.

Bring on the Sunny Days

We are poised to enjoy a couple of wonderfully warm and sunny days here in Atlanta.   The change in the weather can't come soon enough for me.

In anticipation, I created this pattern of flowers and bees in my moleskine notebook.   Drawn and colored with Faber Castell Indian ink pens.

Hallo!

Just a page of random doodles from my moleskine.   Done with Faber Castell PITT Indian ink pens.

That little moleskine notebook is pretty full, but I still have plenty of pages to fill.
