Doodling is a great way to slow down

October 9, 2021

Doodle lips

Inspired by artist Kelsey Montague. I used some of her elements then got lost in the doodling and included some of my loves; Art, Books, Music, Birds, and Stories.

Speak of your joy. Often.

Doodling is thinking in disguise.

April 16, 2021

There is no such thing as a mindless doodle.

The Doodle Revolution by Sunni Brown

I’ve started infodoodling while listening to speakers in workshops and interviews and I may never go back to straight note taking.

Author Sunni Brown wrote “The Doodle Revolution” and in it she asks us to think of the word “doodle” as making spontaneous marks to help yourself think. 

She goes on to write doodling gives us “…the prospect of greater insight, the chance for deeper creativity, and the path to better problem solving.”

When we use both hemispheres of our minds—left and right—we are awakened. We activate the fuller potential of what’s possible, she explains.

I agree.

Viva la revolución!

Flash fiction workshop with John Gould

The black and white infodoodle is from a workshop about flash fiction with author John Gould. The more colorful one is from an interview between author Traci Skuce and Emma Dhesi about the writing journey.

Lunchbox art

This is it for art this morning. A recycled paint color swatch with a doodle, some love, and a wish, packed in my husband’s lunch.
