Get Your Doodle On!

Chrysti is hosting an ATC swap with doodling as the emphasis. Now, I've never done an ATC before, but I have doodled! So I figured that this might be a good swap to start with. Unfortunately, I've waited until the last minute and I will have to send these overnight or something if I still want to be in. I did the doodling in my Moleskine and then cut the pages apart and glued them onto playing cards.
They're colorful anyway!

Playing around....

with that page from this weekend. I tore some tidbits from the literature we picked up from the park and played wtih the watercolor pencils. Thanks for the nice comments yesterday....isn't the internet great?! I don't know very many people in my "real life" who are into journalling. There are a few who understand, but most people think it's kind of cool...yet seem to wonder why you'd spend time on drawings that aren't always all that good. In my "virtual life" I have all you folks who really get it!

Sketching at Morton Arboretum

Saturday we went to Morton Arboretum to wander around and enjoy the day. I was with Joe and he's not a sketcher, but I got in a fast one anyway. This is a sculpture by Patrick Dougherty. Very cool and very sturdy...though it makes me think of one of the 3 little pigs houses...built of sticks!
The 17 year cicadas were everywhere...and the noise they make is other worldly. I still may add some color or something to these pages.
Looking up....like a rustic church.
Just trying a new profile pic.
