These are some drawings I did in my 3x5" Moleskine weekly planner after discovering that I doodle in it more than I plan :S
On a rainy day without an umbrella I was stuck at a coffee shop waiting for the rain to stop. I had nothing but this planner I didn't plan in, and a couple of sharpies and a pencil.
To burn some time, I just started doodling, and ended up with this.
I'm
told, this isn't really doodling because it's not entirely
spontaneous;for the sake of this post I am going to call it wrongfully
"doodling."
I found that I enjoyed doodling although it was never really my thing; I was always a serious artist, you know, that only creates work that conveyed deep meaning and never anything FUN.
Whatever it is, I found this so relaxing, so enjoyable - and this one piece was more than I'd written in the darn thing, so I thought I'd turn the book into a doodle book instead.
To cover up the lines and some writings I had put down in an attempt to encourage myself to use the thing, I put a thin layer of gesso then painted over with gouche or acrylic or whatever I had on hand- and doodled at a cafe or at home with a nice cuppa tea/caffeinated bevy and a box of short-breads XD Hope you like!

| Glow worm |
This is one of my favourite phrases.
Whenever I am feeling a little blah, this little phrase/quote/whatever always manages to bring a smile to my face. It's not as organized as I envisioned which makes it hard to read, but it but it says:
"I wish I was a glow worm. How can you be glum when the sun shines out of your bum?"
I dunno...I can't.

| Girls |
I watched "A Little Princess" and it is true; every little girl is a princess - even when the child grows into old age - to any parent their child is and always will be, a little royalty.

| Favourite Things |
This is my mind on a regular day. things that inspire, things I love and things that make me happy.

| "Granted" |
A lesson we should all learn....it's not easy for some to not be taken for granted - and it's hard for some to resist taking others for granted.

| Hair |
First ever attempt at self portrait... looking at it now, it reminds me of the light, rosy and warm feeling that you get (Sometimes dramatic too) when warm/cool gentle breeze sweeps through your hair...
