Is that another title that sounds dirty? Or is that just me? Probably the latter.
Last night when I was totally frustrated with writing, I got out some pens and paper. This is the result.
I guess this is kind of like that whole ‘zentangle‘ thing, but I’m not following the ‘rules‘… I’m just doing whatever. And I think I’m going to do whatever some more because I enjoyed this, and I have a few favorite patters from this that I’d like to play around with.
Yes, I need playthings. I don’t care if I’m a grown woman. Hell, I probably need them more because I’m a grown woman. But we all like toys. Don’t we? I know that’s not just me.

Colouring and scribbling and drawing are so great. I was doing very poor watercolours a couple of years back, for fun–maybe I’ll fish out my stuff again and do more.

I cannot paint at all… I’m so bad at it! I have to choose things I might actually be good at or I end up frustrated. I expect too much of myself, I think…

Oh too bad to be hard on yourself. When I did it, it was strictly mental therapy, since I have no talent at all for it. You notice I didn’t say I used to draw, since the dreadful stick figures I can do are not exactly ‘drawing’–

So pretty!!! We all need to do fun things to do. I don’t know if I have a “play thing.” The closest things for me are likely my laptop and my gardening tools in the summer. Boring, eh?

Not boring! I wish I liked gardening.

I see lots of card designs heading your way. Lovely!
Adapt your other pictures such as fish and dog, and fill in with some similar designs. I bet they would look great.

I was thinking of doing something like that… maybe I will try it. I tend to do well with the abstract because then I don’t get annoyed with myself when it doesn’t look enough like a dog, fish, whatever…!

I think it could work very well. You obviously have a good eye for abstract design.

And you’re creating spontaneously is almost like letting the piece form itself – like automatic writing – you are the instrument of the muse. Its very cool!
