Doodles and damaged books, just how are they related? I have recently pulled out my scrap booking supplies and have felt a renewed sense of interest in creating some memory pages. It was spurred by a book I ordered a few weeks ago. It is called, The Doodle Formula by Adrienne Looman. It is a step by step guide to creating the perfect doodle.
Adrienne uses concepts like balance, shape, depth, and filler to achieve the perfect doodle which is then incorporated into scrap book design and collage. The above is my first doodle using her concepts.
I also doodled a few characters I hope you will enjoy!
Crazy bird...
An artist's companion...
The writer's muse...
Confused !Where do I go from here...Oh! the damaged book connection!
Along with books I recently purchased for my classroom library I
came across a few damaged books. There were books with beautiful illustrations,
came across a few damaged books. There were books with beautiful illustrations,
lovely type, and I just couldn't leave them there. Reuse, recycle, rejuvenate!
Although damaged their parts will work nicely in a collage and
the covers will become small portfolios for finished artwork.
I love the colors and broad strokes used to create the following illustrations I was able to salvage.
This will make an awesome background.
The next couple examples really appealed to me.
Here is Adriene's book. It can be purchased through Bluegrass Publishing at http://www.bluegrasspublishing.com/ .
I promise to share my finished work very soon!P.S. I thought you might like to see the pillows I made from that piece of fabric I picked up the other day.
Take a seat, relax, and leave me a comment!I will leave you with this quote:
