Doodling a mystical cat picture :)
I saw this method of building a picture demonstrated on TV so I thought I would have a go. I took photo's as I went along, just in case it turned into something that I'd want to remember how I did. If you see what I mean. Ha!
I sat outside in a warm woolly jumper, determined not to let my cold make me miss all the sunshine. A mug of hot tea was essential, though!
First draw lines, freehand, too and fro across the paper.
Don't do zig-zags or sharp bends.
Then colour each shape with water-colour pencils.

Now take a stamp and two pieces of coloured paper.
No surprise here... I chose a cat!!!
Stamp your chosen shape onto each piece of coloured paper and cut them out.

Have a look at the background. Any shapes you'd like to highlight? Use glitter, glitter pens or anything you have to hand.... I spotted that a few of the lines had formed a star... I outlined this in glass outliner....
I went over some of the horizontal lines, too....
Add another quirky stamp somewhere... I chose hearts....

Hey ho!
It filled an hour or two and was quite relaxing to do. I think it would have looked better if it had had a more limited colour pallette. I'll remember that next time! I might crop it, and put it onto a card. Or maybe cut it up into ATC's. What do you think? Why not have a go?

I think that would make a great card Helena. Hope your cold is getting better :)
That would make a great card. Hope you are feeling better.
Really cute!
That's really nice, Helena. Hope you're feeling better soon - I am hacking and wheezing as well!
Summer colds are the worst kind - ugh, poor you. Hope it clears soon (hugs). I love how you are always experimenting with new ideas and creating beautiful, fresh designs. Yes, maybe you should crop it just a little bit, it will turn into a beautiful card, don't you think?
I beleive you might be right about limiting the color but then would that have accented the cats as much interesting
Julie,
thanks :) the cold is nearly gone, just the annoying remnant of the cough now!
Angel & Kirby,
I'm not sure who I would send it to though! It would have to be a special person. I can think of a few people I knpow who would more or less just bin it I'm afraid. LOL!
Karla,
THANK YOU for visiting! It's lovely to find your blog. What a treat it was to visit there!
Feronia,
Hope you're feeling better soon- at least I can get some warm sun here at the moment! Get your woollies on!
Shrinky,
Thanks, Shrink! I hope your writing is driving itself along for you, no blocks etc. Do you go and visit the TTs?? (Can you avoid it?)
i beati,
Hmmm good point. I also wondered if I should do the cats in some really abstract designs, flowers and swirls maybe, just to be different.
