Hello all of you Color Lovelies! and for my quilt friends, you might want to grab a pen and paper and play with us today. How does one doodle? How do you explain how to doodle? I just do it, and I don't think about it...you know that "art trance". So I sat and thought about it, and decided to break it down for you. Use basic shapes like circles, teardrops, some curleques, and start building!
A few more "doodled" pictures for you...
Ready to color.
I started this one while sitting and waiting for my car to be repaired! Who knows what else I will add to it? That's the fun of it! Sometimes I just put it down, and go back a day later and keep on adding until it looks just right!
One of my favorite CZT's is Penny Raille.
Check out her blog and note the breakdown called
This really helped me get started, and I hope it will do the same for you.
Be sure to check out the two videos in the sidebar, they will show you how to tangle!
Here are a couple of other links to videos that will hopefully inspire you!
Flowers Are Fun! (don't you love the music?)
You will want to check out her Dangerous Doodle videos while you are there. Lots of inspiration!
Your assignment, should you decide to take it,
is to build-a-doodle using your favorite background method.
It can be a flower garden or just an abstract object.
Color it in with any of your wonderful supplies that we have been using.
You are welcome to use any of the above drawings to get started...sometimes it is just easier.
Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Have a doodlicious time.....

I love this! When my hubby was in the hospital I stumbled upon these books! I still haven't tried it... but I know I am going to love playing! Yours are wonderful Sharon!!
Oh my gosh! This is too cool thank you for sharing this. I love, love, looooove it.
Wow! So neat! You are doing so good! Have you heard of Spoonflower? You should check it out and make some fabric like this...of course you could take a light colored batik and doodle with a permanent pen too...then make a quilt out of it!
Our quilt guild had a Tangles Instructor from Michaels come to give us an introductory lesson. I had already stumbled upon Tangling and was so intrigued since I am already a HUGE doodler. I even doodle like Tangling so this was not a big stretch for me. You should see my phone book and the weekly Sunday church Bulletin!! Ha!!! I've had people stop and pick up my Bulletin if I happen to leave it in the pew. Thanks for the links.

Thanks so much for this tutorial. It seems I always need to look elsewhere for my inspiration, it just doesn't come that easy to me. Doodling is so relaxing.
thanks, sharon!
Looks interesting! I do a little doodling of my own! You might find my blog interesting: www.somethingbyjuliana.blogspot.com
