doodle postcard III

because i always love seeing the creation process especially in art works but as well regarding garden and home projects i thought i'll add a few pictures to show you the way i play with lines and formes.
this is  my ordinary way of doodling only that i borrowed the string from the zentangle.so the base is the string and the rest is added step by step as the doodle develops.in my first colored doodles the core is commonly a face or a form that is growing chaotic by adding other forms or patterns.

                                    the result entitled "the bubble escapes"(i just missed to draw the eye of the whale)
and the process:






material used:300gsm fabriano watercolor paper,watercolor pencil,marker.
happy doodling...................................................................................ildi

continuing the postcard series

well,thanks for the visits and thank you for the comment Pia  :)
now you would have to find even more hidden creatures between today's morning line work.
it was quite unusual as i'm mostly a late night doodler but i must confess that it felt even better knowing that there's food in fridge,the kids are all right(the little one stood home with me and was watching "the course of the  were rabbit" lol at that time) and everything else can wait...now my elder one is also home and engaged in a similar doodle,lol.i told you it was contagious!i'll upload his artwork too when ready ;)

 your fingers may not be enough for counting them,lol,luckily we have some toes too

our creative week



school has begun.my elder son started waking me up before 7 hehe,my little one is crying his way out to the kindergarten and i begin working on Monday.i just polished my violin and set down for a short post to show you what we'd been doing(my son and i) the last week.
i proposed  my first time school boy to help me with a pencil case project.he gladly accepted the task and very soon his drawing laid on the canvas.i just had to paint it with acrylics and sew it.i must tell you i'm not familiar with that machine.the outcome was a bit different as the way i planned but we both were happy with it.the pictures are a bit shinny as the whole case is wrapped with protective film.
we both were curious about the feedback as it wasn't a bought regular fancy case.soon the waited feedback arrived wrapped in the following sentence-i don't like your pencil case!i must say that he is attending an art(music and arts) school and that coming from their first grade teacher.i would have many to say about that but i just say DOT.

still i continued the "case" project and quickly(well not as quickly as i'm writing it lol) came out a girlish one.


at the end i had some left over colors that had been splashed on a 15/15 canvas.it was very nice to play with it even if the result is weak.i had great time and sure will repeat it but first i have to finish some paper mache rose pins.

have a great creative week!

  show and tell us what you have been working on as i saw it at:

#19 William Morris + inchies

hello!
finally i took the plunge to post some old doodles.as you see i got stuck somewhere at challenge 19 .
i still have some little drawings in atc format to show but it seams that time is not on my side.as we travel a lot in summer time to places where the virtual world is totally absent i always find difficult the coming backs.
beside these things i dedicate my little spare time to paper mache right now.it is good to have at least two hobbies you can jump form one to another when felling bored or overwhelmed.i'm having the paper period but as i start commenting again means that i am attracted slowly back to the black side of the moon ,lol.i'm exited then by the wide and various artistic material my tentacles reaches and my appetite groves again for taking the pencil instead of the paper pulp.
meanwhile i've opened an etsy shop ,finished a commissioned paper mache mirror -click here-or -here-and about 12 pairs of earrings,one bracelet,4 mini woodland creatures and started to paint a pm bowl.
that being said here are my little contributions:




see you,have a wonderful summer time!
