I’ve had to do a lot of waiting the last couple of weeks, for various reasons. Zebra Pens US sent me a boatload of new pens – Sarasa clip pens and Mildliners. I grabbed some of the mildliners (check out the weekly giveaway!) and stuffed them in my purse (which weighs a ton! ouch!) along with some Hahnemühle YouTangle tiles.
And instead of just waiting, I doodle waited!
Mostly I was trying out the pens and checking out the new colors, but I also kept the Doodlewash prompts for the month in mind. Abstract. It’s a wonderful word that means ‘this almost looks like something’, lol.
Doodlewash prompt: Tomatoes. I started trees before I thought of tomatoes and hadn’t pulled out any reds. Ah well, tamrillos are kind of purplish and they’re called tree tomatoes.
Doodlewash prompt: Sand. At first, I just thought about doing dots in all the different colors, but I didn’t think I’d have time. Then I had the idea of confetti blowing around in a sandstorm and combined the two.
Doodlewash prompt: Under Water. So this one has under water and over water. Close enough.
Doodlewash prompt: Wildflowers. Okay, this one is really a stretch, lol. It looks more like a piñata , but a piñata made of wild flowers. Right? Right?
Wanna buy some of these cool toys now?
Life Imitates Doodles 
They are wonderful, looks like you had lots of fun doing them.
Have Zebra Pen Mildliner brush pens, like them, will give this a try.
Enjoy the weekend.
Thank you, Joan! You have a great weekend as well!
Great information on Hahnemühle YouTangle Tiles (review). Hopefully I can find some in Canada, I like collecting tins like this one, so many uses.
Thank you! I like collecting the tins, too. They make great travel palettes for watercolor as they’ll hold 15 full pans or 30 half pans. I like the postcard tins too because of the beautiful art on the lids. I wish I’d known about them sooner as the older ones are impossible to find unless you want to mortgage your house, lol.
of course my favorite is the last one – layered tangles. 🙂
That’s my favorite as well. I used the new mildliner colors for that one.
I love your doodles and the way you let your mind free to come up with these artistic drawings.
Just beautiful so colorful.
Love it
Thank you, Lynne! I think these doodly things I do are the moments when my mind puts everything together and create the basis for the more serious work I do.
