I beleive art is healing.when I draw I relax. I'm happy when a doodle is finished.Then I start a new one.no frustrations.this active relax recently is my main summer "spare-time"activity.Just pencils and paper.Taken everywhere.

Show and Tell Saturday #15

this week's review ...a bunch of new doodle postcards that was so much fun to do....i almost forgot how happy doodling makes me.all my doodles are happy this week.the first one presented is actually the latest that was born yesterday.i'll show the process later with a new post.
this first one showed has a little story to tell if you haven't guessed already,lol....
two little elves were fighting over a giant shell where the rain was locked by a spell.you can see that only black drops were falling from the clouds.in their great struggle they didn't observed the big ripe pepper rolling between them.they also were absent to a funny heat dangerous crocodile approach.the red hair fairy who came out unsuspected from that big pepper was lucky to snatch it from their greedy hands and save the day and the days are coming form now on.

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.

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:
