Beth asked how I did the last art post….
Here are the steps…
Keep in mind that I am venturing away from the fabric medium for the first time….
And am just experimenting without knowledge!

First I doodled the middle – I found the bird on-line, drew it, and the swirls inside the circle.
I then scanned the image to print out and use that copy to continue on in case I messed up I would still have the original.
Second I used oil pastel sticks in blue and orange and colored heavily around the circle. I took a piece of fabric over my finger and rubbed the color in an outward motion.
I then scanned again and printed a copy to continue on. (Is this cheating?)
Then I took my new bottle of Gesso that I know is a base to go under art, but I put it over instead with haphazard outward brush strokes. I then took a wadded up paper towel and swiped over the center enough to get the design to show better.
That’s that.
By scanning and printing a copy, you also have the same piece to have more fun with later...

Love your holiday doodle, Kat, especially the line, "Time is ticking away." How true, but then it always is! I've enjoyed watching Linda's (Blue Eyed Girl) experiments with varied mediums....looks like you're following suit! These are really fun, and I liked reading the process.
I am loving watching your artistic talent race off in a new direction. As for scanning and using being cheating, as far as I'm aware, when it comes to art nothing is cheating unless you use someone elses art. If it is yours you can do what you want, how you want. It is yours and the end product is your art. No rules, no regulations. Freedom to create I say.
I love that final Zentangle. It is wonderful.
love your drawings....you're full of good ideas...thanks for sharing them.

Playing a little catch up, first let me say I really like your new medium, and yes doodling can be very additting. What a cute picture of Annie, glad she is doing
