How’s YOUR doodling going?
Did you try the Echo Doodling from last week?
Are most of YOUR doodles structured or random—Read more HERE
- A darker pen or marker
- New paper
An old novel without a cover makes a great doodle pad. The print really adds great texture!
Happy Doodling!

Whoa! Never thought about novel pages. I need to stop at the library on the way home………don’t worry, discarded books go for a quarter!

So many choices, so little time. This week I am trying out the decorative stitches on the new Bernina I bought 14 months ago. Kind of boring, but I will be glad to have the samples. I have a “fish” quilt that is pieced and waiting for oodles of doodles!

I have not been doodling as suggested but I am going to try to doodle “discretely” in meetings- I thought you posted that there is evidence that doodling can actually improve one’s attention – did I get that right? Need a good marker- not too fine or too wide. Then I can use your posting each week to practice and have my own copy!
Love a plan.

I’m trying to incorporate initials in my doodling. I posted a photo on Lori’s FLICKR link on the right:

that is an attempt to copy a letter from a great little book called The Bible of Illuminated Letters. Once I get the concept of those curly vines, I’ll fill in the entire background.
Or perhaps something more contemporary like this gal’s:

Ahhhh doodling. I love doodling. I do not have much time for it, but I will start.
“my life has so changed” my mom says. Mine has too, and I try very hard to not feel like I work at the fire department.
I do have a cool notebook and I have the pens.
Your doodles look happy and fun

Thanks for your wonderful idea of recycling an old novel as a doodle pad. I also discovered that my doodles “flow” better when I switched from a pencil to a sharpie marker. Who knew it would make such a difference.

The ease of pen movement really helps. I can’t doodle with a scratchy pen! I love your novel idea, Lori…pun intended!

Have you tried a Signo uni ball gel pen? They come in different point sizes and are very smooth writing.

Buying a doodle notebook today! Can you tell me when you book will be out again??? Love your blog and used your spider quilting on a Harry Potter quilt I made for my granddaughter for Christmas. Would attach the pics if I can figure where to do that. Read about the book Savvy Quilter book and bit the bullet and purchased online. Thanks for all that you do.
