DIPSY DOODLING May 8, 2009

“ The Dipsy Doodle’s a thing to beware,
the Dipsy Doodle will get in your hair
and if it gets you it couldn’t be worse-
the things you say will come out in reverse,
like,You love I and me love you-
that’s the way the Dipsy Doodle works !” (Larry Clinton)

HERE I AM February 16, 2009
HERE I AM – © Sue O’Kieffe 2009
It’s good to be back to my doodling world after taking an allergy induced break.
This image speaks to me about opening our Hearts to Love and being willing to come out of our own protective shells. This past weekend I was excited to learn that astrologically we just may be entering the Age of Aquarius. You can read more about the astrological configuration occurring now on my mandala blog.
Proclaiming Here I Am is about being centered in our Hearts and allowing those love vibrations to enter out in the world and be received back.
May all that you do be done in Love.

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR January 31, 2009
A BREATH OF FRESH AIR - © Sue O’Kieffe 2009
There is a shift in the cosmos. Can you feel it? Is it just that Mercury has blessedly gone direct again, inviting movement? I don’t know, but I do get this message: Let’s start acting on those ideas, girl!
I have a recurring dream: I am in a dark yet comforting basement of a big old house. I spend enormous amounts of time getting out of the basement, climbing stair case after staircase, often winding, to get out of the darkness and into the light. When I reach the attic I feel enormous freedom.
Right now I am in the middle of cleaning out stuff in my own house that I don’t want any more, making room for the new. Decluttering is a powerful exercise in manifesting. I love it!
This is the second in a series of daily doodles, done in an evening, just for fun.

BALANCING ACT January 27, 2009
Balancing Act – © Sue O’Kieffe 2009
Some days are like this. Strong foundation with precarious footing. Ever have one like that?
Right now I am focusing a lot on my doodles. Any day now the next layer of spring will begin to erupt on the North Coast of California, and I will be out with my camera to capture more beauty for mandala making (you do know about my mandala blog, don’t you? Hope you come visit!)
Healingmagichands made the observation that I use a lot of eyes in my doodles. How many of you out there practiced drawing eyes when you were young…beautiful eyelashes, arched eyebrows, perfect shading? Always striving to capture the soul within? Ya, me too!
I don’t really have much of a story to go with this doodle. I just put down the pen and this is what appeared. It’s a nice way to spend some time before I go to sleep. Who needs pills? Not me!
And with that, I am going in search of my pillow.
Sweet dreams.

RAINY DAY DOODLE November 9, 2008
Rainy Day Doodle – © Sue O’Kieffe 2008
What better activity is there on a rainy day than doodling? This doodle is actually a work in progress. I thought I would post changes over the next couple of days. I am not a quick sketch kinda gal. My doodles often take a few days to complete. This time I’m thinking outside the circle. Im gonna drawl all over the page!
I’m down with a cold. Sympathy and chicken soup are always appreciated. Doodling is a great between naps pasttime!
This post is part of Leah’s Art Every Day Month 2008 challenge. Be sure to come visit me at my mandala blog, Sacred Circle Mandalas, for an inspiriting dose of digital art

CHALLENGES October 12, 2008
Many Paths – © Sue O’Kieffe 2008
I have been occupied by different projects over the past couple of weeks that even the relaxing qualities of doodling didn’t soothe. I completed this doodle last night after beginning it last Sunday.(pssst sue…it’s about the journey, not the destination, remember?…. ) Well, anyway,when I stepped back and looked at it, I saw it as the perfect reflection of my brain’s activities lately.
I’ve been watching a program on PBS this morning about brain strength. I’m glad to know that the brain can actually be strengthened by doing brain exercises (such as learning new skills) that are challenging and fun.
My current challenge is learning how to create videos for youtube. I’m excited.
What are you challenging yourself to do that is new and fun?

Keeping it Simple September 14, 2008
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
