Blood pressure lowering
Calming. Centering.

Maybe it was the result of too much spicey food, but I’ve been dreaming in doodles.

L00K!
L is for Look Who’s Making Eyes at Me!
L is also for Life, Love, Lips, and curly Locks
as well as Lavendar, Lilac, Lapis
Loops, Lines and Leaves.
L is for that fluttery Lepidoptera
and Lots and Lots and Lots of Laughter.

Doodling the alphabet one letter at a time
Filed under: Sue O'Kieffe, doodling, mandala, zentangle | Tags: black and white, doodle, sharpie
rhythmic doodling…swirl, twist, half circle, straight line ,dip, scroll, dot…melodic, contemplative, simple, sweet, like ice skating at night under a full moon ..whooosh whooosh…
remembering embroidery..in out in out, twist around needle, pierce fabric, french knot!… pierce fabric, turn hoop, in out in out, satisfaction…
so simple

Experimenting on black paper with colored pencils, I was reminded of the rich tapestry-like and tropical designs of Laurel Burch. I was saddened to discover this remarkable artist passed away a year ago at 61 from complications of osteoporosis.
From her website: I live within the vivid colors of my imagination … soaring with rainbow feathered birds, racing the desert winds on horseback, wrapped in ancient tribal jewels, dancing with mythical tigers in steamy jungles.
If you want to learn more about this remarkable artist and her vision, be sure and read her obituary here.
In the meantime, I will continue to be inspired.
So, what artists inspire you?

Doodling suns makes me happy! Sunshine on my shoulders, and all that!
Some traditions say gather feathers, make a wish, then blow. Your wishes travel on the wind.
Others believe feathers are a symbol of a message being sent through the air.
I love finding feathers.
Good luck. Best wishes.
What do you wish for?
Going Down in Flames

previously doodled, begging to show off one more time…who is to argue with a dragon going down in flames?

I have been inspired by RaShell to doodle on shell fragments, which also seemed totally synchronistic for today’s theme ~ water ~ over at Doodle Week. Be sure to check out the awesome doodles that will undoubtedly appear for this month’s challenge!

This little doodle seemed to have some kind of underwater shell thing going on too… a fantasy seascape without the fishes!
