#doodlesandpatterns

5/100 — #5of100 I’ve circled back round to day one’s page today: I’ve been feeling a bit poorly, so huddled up under a blanket with a cup of tea, some pens and my book, have made the world a bit better today. Feels like I’ve been channeling some #GustavKlimt style today, especially with the bits of gold here n there. ................ ..

4/100 — #4of100 Today’s doodles are a next layer: this time in pen over paint, over the noise of what was already there before I re-began this page on day 2. This is how intricate patterns build up, layer by layer. Following lines, repeating marks, letting it evolve in its own way. It’s my meditation. ................ ..

2/100 — #day2of100 This time yesterday I had no idea I’d be participating in the 100 day project again. Nope. No interest at all. .. Then I got swept up in all the ‘day one’-ness, and here I am: day two and buzzing with ideas. I am that flighty! .. This little art journal has been with me over a year, filling up with scraps and notes and layers of patterns & doodles and such. .. This page already had some notes from I can’t remember what or when, loosely covered in paint scribbles. And now it has some more! .. My plan for this #100dayproject is #100daysofdoodles - everyday I’ll show you what’s new in this book. #doodlesandpatterns #watercolourmess #layersonlayers https://www.instagram.com/p/BvzAOHYjyWi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y7pggku8r76t

1/100 — #day1of100 These last two years I set myself really specific plans for the 100 day project. In 2017 I began when the project was about half way in, and although I completed 100 posts, i did so gradually over about 5 months. Last year I dutifully set out on day one and posted daily until about day sixty-something when my muse scooted off, not be seen again for a few months. I think I was asking too much of her (and me). This year I’ve got a new tactic. Lately I got back into daily art making, and I’d love to make that a daily priority in my life. It’s a wholesome habit to nurture, it keeps me sane, and for the most part it’s entirely possible to find at least a few minutes to move some pens or paint about. ... This little art journal has been with me over a year, filling up with scraps and notes and layers of patterns & doodles and such. My plan for this #100dayproject is #100daysofdoodles - everyday I’ll show you what’s new in this book: this is a page I’ve been playing in this evening. #doodlesandpatterns #dailyartjournal #pinksandreds https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvw5UsPDqc5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t6godw5fzhmw
