I did a doodle today as part of a matchbox card set I'm playing around with. Early drafts, but working on concepts and think the next few days/week may be fun. They are based on animals simplified to shape and colour, removing fussy detail and muting the tones to earthy soft hues.
This blog follows my personal challenge to do a doodle everyday for 2015 to show something from my day - an occurrence, a thought, a meeting, some work, news, something that caught my eye, a conversation I had or overheard... in summary, this is my Doodle Diary 2015. And if you fancy, why not share your day with a doodle too.

I did a doodle today for #colour_collective Friday, tasked with incorporating Magenta Haze in to my doodle.
So, on a long train journey down from Scotland, I got into looking at henna decorations of arms and hands. The beautiful, intricate patterns and designs that adorn the slender arms and long fingers of young women. These designs are fascinating and so varied, striking in their pattern formation, yet individual in their artist's paintbrush.
So, here is my first attempt at a design.... I think I may do more as they are wonderful to create.
Happy Friday everyone.

I did a doodle today inspired by champagne, what could be more perfect?
Bubbles aside, for now at least, I am doodling for this week/s #colour_collective, who have set Champagne as the colour to use. So here is my champagne puppy, I've called him Moet.

I did a doodle today after a trip to the cinema. The summer holiday season brings an array of outside-normal-routine activities, lots of extra fun and more than a few extra ice creams. So today, it was the cinema and popcorn. Loving summer holidays.

I did a doodle today because it's hip-hip-hooray, Colour Collective Day.
Today's colour is Forest green and my (very quick) picture is inspired by actual sock puppets made with my Little One. Love creativity at all levels.... though the actual sock puppets are not wearing so well!

I did a doodle today of Adam and Eve (post apple).
My four year old daughter asked me how the first baby got born, because if it was first then it couldn't have had a mummy and daddy to make it! I proceeded to tell her a simplified version of 'Adam and Eve and of 'Evolution' to answer her question.
After a little consideration, she announced that people must have come from animals!

I did a doodle today as a prelim (the before scene) to something I have done today. I can't show the final pic just yet as it is for someone... don't want to ruin the surprise! But SPOILER ALERT, they die! Sorry, can't really sugar-coat it...
