I love these patterns that can be piled up on top of one another. To me this is just a seriously tangled mess! Another organic line doodle. I saw a large tangled peacock feather that was all curvy and flowing… I love it but I wasn’t sure it was something I would want to attempt. […]
Inspired by the below artwork by ashleyinzer on flicker these floral doodles are just quickie doodles during TV time with my husband.. Or while he plays xbox and I just sit beside.. No desire to be perfect just keeping the mind occupied! ijourney1018 {@} gmail {dot} com meandmyinkpen {@} gmail {dot} com About […]
Just a few quickie mandalas in my current Sketchbook. I noticed the other day that I am getting close to finishing another book and decided to give it a look through.. I found three or four incomplete mandalas and then these finished ones. I am real bad about starting one on a serious note […]
I took photos of this one in stages as I went. I don’t always pencil them in first. But this one is actually quite large. This is my 11×14 sketchbook but the mandala itself is only about 8″… I’ll aim for 10 next time! So even after I’ve inked in a few layers, I don’t […]
So the last post showed Open Composition mandalas, These are Closed composition mandalas (almost lol). Closed means that the entire piece of artwork is framed within the paper. The top one is pushing the limits of the edge but the others qualify lol. I tried dammit! ijourney1018 {@} gmail {dot} com meandmyinkpen {@} gmail […]
Open composition is when the elements of the artwork go beyond the edges of the page. With mandalas, I love when they come from one corner or another of the page… Or when they burst so large from the center that they go beyond the page completely.. These mandalas or doodles or drawings aren’t that great […]
In December we took mom to see Hollywood and I doodled there and back.. I finished the first one and began the second one on day one… I finished up the second doodle on day two. Those little circles were a trip on a moving train! The first day we took her to Hollywood and […]
I’ve had my Derwent Inktense pencils for a while, but I haven’t gotten to use them overly much. So I not only colored on this little mandaladoodle I’d done the other day, but I also made me a color chart to keep inside my Inktense tin so that I can see at a glance what color […]

I can tell you I did not do the ‘pillow’ type bags that Teesha does. Instead I used a layer of batting and created a mini quilt block. Every block is embellished with one or more of the following : swirl embroidery pattern, embroidery pattern, beads, silver thread, actual items (key, pins, buttons, etc). 1. […]
