A Dash of Doodles – 4

It's been some time since I last made a larger Zentangle-inspired doodle, because my 100-day project has been using up most of my creative time. I do make mini doodles once in a while for this project, though, so my doodling urges are somewhat satisfied periodically. Here's a set of large doodles that I made…

Where Flowers Bloom

Here's a recent art journal spread of mine - I made this spread on a black cardstock sheet that I'd included in my handmade journal. I started out by playing with my gel plate. I mainly used acrylics and stencils with it. I then pounced acrylics over other stencils, and included negative prints from my…

Faces – 2

Continuing with my series of faces / portraits, here's another one I made a while back - I still don't have a style of my own, and it's fun to create these faces however I want to (or rather, to create them however they end up turning out. 😉 ) I don't create them as…

[Challenge win: Top rocker at 613 Avenue Create challenge] Here's a recent art journal spread of mine - I made this spread on tea-dyed copy paper pages that I'd included in my art journal. The page started out with remnants from a previous session--I'd run my brayer, with remains of metallic acrylics from the earlier…

A Dash of Doodles – 3

Here's another set of Zentangle-inspired doodles that I made recently - Most of my gel pens are awesome--they glide over paper well and create smooth lines. Some, however, have hiccups and vomit a bit of ink now and then, and I have to adjust--I generally end up incorporating the blob into my doodle. If that's…

Faces – 1

When it comes to using faces in my art journaling, I enjoy making abstract, distorted ones since they only need to roughly conform to the semantics of a human face. The proportions can be off, the lines can be haphazard, the coloring can be wacky--it still reminds me of a face, and it renders quickly…

Inktober 2022 Doodles

We moved house recently, and in the ensuing madness, it was hard to keep up with my usual creative therapy of art journaling. I mostly stuck to doodling during this transition period, since it does not require a lot of supplies--and it helped maintain my sanity. 🙂 We're settling down now, and in between the…
