More Hearts

I'm in a very Valentinesy mood, as far as my art goes. I played around with some more hearts.

This one is kind of weird.  I wanted to try this heart pattern.  Then I decided that I wanted to try some old paper, so this is what I ended up with.

Peace,

Valentine Doodling and a Crocheted Blanket

I've been doodling around with these hearts for a couple days.  That was a lot of hearts to color.  I used Sharpies.  I cut the angels out of a French school book, then attached them to the page with a glue stick.

My anniversary is Valentines Day.  It will be 24 years.  It's gone by so fast.  When I look at pictures of us in the 90's, it's hard to believe how much we have changed.

I just took this blanket out of the dryer and decided to take a picture of it.  This is, probably, my favorite thing that I have crocheted.  It's 100% cotton.  It feels so heavy and soft.  I love the texture.  I used single and double crochet stitches.  It's great when things turn out the way you wanted.  It's also great when I actually finish a crochet project.  I have plastic containers full of semi-complete afghans, bathing suits, sweaters, shrugs, socks.  You name it - I have it, partially crocheted!

Peace,

Zen doodling on Saturday

Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition Finale Doodling

Tonight was the season finale for Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition.  I can't stand Abby, but I love watching those girls dance.

Of course, I had to have a black pen in hand while watching.  Here's this evening's reality TV doodle.  I finished up the pink while watching Shahs of Sunset.

Tomorrow, I'll show you the finished bookcase that I've been painting for my sister.  I have to put the dark wax on it, then it will be complete.

Peace,

Cyndi

Pretty Paisley

As much as I try to do other forms of art, I always end up pulling out the pens and drawing.  I just love to draw with a nice black pen, then color.

I bought a new book on Friday -  Creative Doodling & Beyond: Inspiring exercises, prompts, and projects for turning simple doodles into beautiful works of art by Stephanie Corfee.  It's good because she goes through different doodling shapes and boarders and leaves space for you to practice next to her doodles.  Okay, can you tell which page is mine and which is Stephanie's?  Of course you can.....mine are on the right.

Here's my doodling from last night.
