Doodling Along

I have little to say, but that is because my brain is doing a whole lotta thinking.

And here is something I am going to further develop. Not sure what I'll ultimately do with it though…

Finding My Way


I have added a piece of work to the Red Bubble online shop. It is called Heart Beat of the City and is available as:

  • greeting card
  • matted print
  • laminated print
  • mounted print
  • canvas print
  • framed print
  • poster

The past few days I have been on a creative timeout. The artistic juices have not been flowing and I was getting confused. Let's just say the inner doubting voice was having too much sway.
It helps though, to sit down with a friend, drink a cup of tea, and talk about it. Which is precisely what I did this morning. After some encouraging words and advice, I returned home to find my creative drive starting to reboot itself.
My ideas are starting to flow again and I don't feel quite so lost. Thank you Ann Marie!

What am I reading?
Dracula — Bram Stoker.

What have I borrowed from the library?
Stupid Sock Creatures — John Murphy
The Mary Frances Sewing Book — Jane Eayre Fryer
Sock and Glove — Miyako Kanamori
Wee Wonderfuls — Hillary Lang

Dibble Dabble

I am dabbling with lots of different things at the moment. I am illustrating, reading, listening to music, reading blogs, crocheting. What else?
I recently finished reading Northanger Abbey, and am now half way through Cold Comfort Farm.
Tonight I began a food crochet project — making cookies.
The first cookie


Whoops! Look at the time. I gotta go and drink my tea before it gets cold.

A Rosy Blur

This afternoon I doodled in Photoshop with the below illustration. Then I added different motion blur effects, just to watch what happens. There are some Dr Who like effects happening, I think.
