Doodlie Day!

I have been using Watercolor pencils in some of my doodles recently. They work like watercolor paint only the pigment goes down using a colored pencil. They are such fun!
I am aiming to make some Gift Tags with my owls on them. The backgrounds will have coordinating polka dot color schemes to the owls. Before I do a mass run of them I am going to make a prototype run of tags. Ill let you know how they come out!

























I get to points where I feel a little stagnant with a design if I never was truly in love with it originally. I LIKE all of my designs, but sometimes I know deep down I can push them further. The Walrus for example. Oswald the Walrus I doodled again because I think I can push him further. I have found of course what always looks good on paper doesnt necessarily look good with felt. So its a doodle to try out eventually. I also would like to try a turtle and a mouse. I had great fun working out ideas on a page that has a chicken a cardinal and a peacock. Trying to come up with more bird options. The peacock would be a lot of sewing but I think could be really worth it!
I will keep you all updated as I get things rolling. More than likely these are sneak peek items for next spring since this Holiday Season is already underway.

Keep crafting everyone!

Doodles are such a wonderful glimpse into the inside of people's heads. Yours looks like it would be a fun place for a picnic!
