Bookmark Contest
The contest is not here….it's over at D'blogala. You’ve got to hurry and submit your bookmark by Friday, Oct. 15. I totally forgot about this, but thankfully Dawn posted a reminder recently. She’s giving away this book that she recently published.
Here’s my entry:
Since this is a “girl” Doodle diary book, I thought it best if I used some pinks!! If you've been following this blog, you know that pink and I don't see eye-to-eye when it comes to coloring things in. I will wear it, just can't draw with it. But since, I can draw with orange, reds and blues, I thought maybe pink would play well with these other colors, so far so good....I am relieved.
Looking a little bland here, had to spice it up a bit.
I thought the white lettering was a bit too boring. But I was unsure how much detail to put in such a small area.
Ok, you’ve got to admit it, this has some detail! Plus, it’s a little wild! Good thing I cut some extra 2 x 6 inch pieces, because I may make another one, entirely different, of course. This was a quick & fun doodle opportunity. Now You....Go get your Doodlin’ On, and submit one for yourself. What have you got to lose?
this is fab-u-lous, eden!!! i especially love all of those little black areas that you placed in between all of the colors (and your pinks blended in beautifully!!).....it really helps to "ground" it!! i think you've got a winner here!!! xox, :))
ReplyDeleteooh i LOVEEEEE IT! I want to try toooooooo. Good thing I just love starting projects and not actually finishing them :) I agree with Lori, the black you added is PERFECT.
ReplyDeleteMy journey brought me to your blog and I'm happy it did. This post let me into your creative process which is an awesome experience....in the true sense of the word. This is an unusual event.
ReplyDeleteI'm a dedicated doodler and will be visiting your site daily. If you don't have a post I'll just start exploring you others' blog list....should be a wild ride.

that contest was made for you, doodler extraordinaire! i love it!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
ReplyDeleteDoodling inside the letters really made them pop. I wouldn't have realized that if you hadn't shown the before and after.
I love how you show progressive photos of your work. It really helps me understand how you get a certain look.
