Had a little time recently so I’ve added to my Doodle Directory. I find I really like to work within the constraints of a small square. I think too much white space makes me nervous. I want to fill the space I have before me and I don’t want to take all day!! Borders make me happy!
Tammy’s post this week talked about constraints and creativity. The constraints I used for this (other than the size) is the color palette. I limited myself to just red’s/green’s and black. I adore red’s and green’s TOGETHER! I’m such a little elf, aren’t I? I guess Christmas decor is a year-round occasion! LOL!
Along these same lines, I want to put a shout out about this book (Doodle Diary-Art journaling for girls) by Dawn Sokol, which comes out very soon. You can pre-order it now at amazon. Dawn’s got some cool stuff at her blog that’s right up my any doodler’s alley.
Here are a few more Doodle Directory pages.

I’m thinking that I need better access to these so I’m going to make some .jpg prints of them. Much easier than fumbling thru my moleskines to find them.
As you can see, it's still all about shape and color for me right now!
This is so inspiring- one day I'm going to have to work on one! :) It;s on my TREMENDOUS "want to try this" list...
