Catch up and Doodles !

Looking back at the last few weeks I had not posted a picture of the Garden Sampler after part3 had come out. So here it is with beads added too. There should be 12 parts so I am wondering where this will go next !???


My friend L, sent me this fabric postcard for Twosday !
THANK YOU ..... Just wanted to share with everyone =)

This week I have been taking a break from the Master class doors to work on an ATC for an exchange. I was given the shape of a heart. Errmm ... then started to think about the doodles I create in most of the meetings I attend. My work note books are covered in them.

These are just two examples. There is no plan to the doodle and they grow often based on the amount of words I am writing ! Those who don't know me often think this shows that I am not listern .....WRONG ! As they will often find out.

Well I took the same idea and turn it into fabric art. Using varigated threads from GAST the shapes started to form. Adding buttons was fun and I have started to draw button in my work doodles too.

Although the coloured one was getting there I wanted to create a single colour version as at work I tend to only have one colour pen with me.
These have now become two ATC , one of which will be posted, just not sure which as yet !


Mean while I have enjoyed this so much, started a slightly larger version. The outline is about postcard size. As you can see I draw in a few element stitch them then draw the next ones. Some of the lines with running stitch and french knots are not planned with the pen.

So dear reader, what do you think ??? Should I carry on with this ?? Monocrome or multi-coloured ??

Definitely carry on with your doodles - they are fabulous! My work doodles never looked anything like that. And the stitched ones, in colour and monochrome are BEAUTIFUL!!!! Very very creative! And of course the Papillon mystery looks great too :)

Those are gorgeous so yes, carry on. I love the red one (but it is my fave colour) but the multi-coloured ones are fantastic also.
