This year the color is Greenery. Greenery is symbolic of new beginnings. It is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that make you think of the first days of spring when nature’s greens return after a long colorless winter. Greenery signals people to take a deep breath. Greenery is an omnipresent hue around the world.
A life-affirming shade, Greenery is also emblematic of the pursuit of personal passions and vitality.

I had so much fun with this doodle gem. I love how the colors shift and overlap. The variations in these gems are endless and no 2 will ever be exactly alike.
Ammolite is an opal-like organic gemstone found along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains of North America.90% of all Ammolite is mined in Canada. A very small percentage is being mined in Utah. It is made of the fossilized shells of ammonites

Turquoise stones come in such an amazing variety of colors--you'll find one you love just by doing a Google Image Search for Turquoise Stones.
The first drawing that I show of the Turquoise was done using Micador Color Rush pencils from Australia (not available in the US as far as I can tell) I won them in a drawing from Peta Hewitt La-Artistino -https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC319W9__DFTzcLYSyPBGlTw
Peta is an amazing colorist and I have been learning lots about color pencil coloring from her many videos!

Welcome to Episode 8 of my How to draw Doodle Gems Series. This time is a sweet little Rose Quartz Heart. The Gem is first up on the video in real time and at 17.46 mins the doodle lace frame for the heart is done in real time too!
Doodling and coloring are 2 things that are great for calming down and reconnecting with yourself for a little while. Take some time to relax and make something beautiful!
This project was done with Crayola Color Pencils. (Mauve, Cerulean Blue, Magenta, Pale Rose, Bubblegum Pink, Salmon Pink, Rose Pink and White) I have the 50 pack that I picked up on Amazon for less than $20 (in March of 2016). The doodle frame is drawn with a Sakura Pigma Micron Pen and the highlights are done with the Signo Uniball White Gel pen.
This week's new episode of Doodle Gems is up! Leave a comment on the video let me know what you think!! It looks like new episodes are going up on Mondays. Keep a look out for them. :)
If you have any ideas or suggestions for new stones or gems for me to do tutorials on please let me know!
For all who have to deal with much too warm weather I'm sending you a lovely wish for some watery coolness.
Here's a doodle that I came up with this morning I hope that it brings you a moment of coolness and enjoyment.
The bedroom is almost all done! We have painted the walls and baseboards, put in the new cupboards and bookshelves and hung the new drapes, taken out the carpet and laid the new flooring. All we have left is the new bed that is being delivered on Saturday. Just in time for our second 1 week vacation (my hubby has next week off) we are staying close to home this time. I told my hubby that with the bedroom being all bright shiny and new it would be like staying at a lovely hotel. :) We will be doing lots of day trips this time. Relaxing and just enjoying all of our hard work.
It has been months and months since I had a chance to do some intentional doodling. Here's a few that I completed last week. I'm so excited to be getting back into the groove.
I'm drawing more, but we are also in the middle of our Summer home improvement project. After almost 24 years in the same home we are tearing out the carpet, putting in new flooring, painting the walls and trim in our bedroom. We have already done every other room in our home so it is just about time.
Today was bright and sunny, 85 degrees, what do I draw? Holiday ornaments.
I didn't set out to do this it was one of those things that just sort of happened. I started doodling in one circle and it looked cool. I did another one the same page and it was neat too, then the third one appeared and there I was with a lovely page of doodled ornaments.
I think that these may end up being the holiday card this year. I scanned it in to the computer and then started playing in Photoshop, making layers and trying out different colors. I love being able to turn off different layers to see what I am doing and how it it looking.
I still have a whole day this weekend to play! I'm looking forward to Sunday and maybe ven getting some more sewing done. :) I need work clothes and finding ones I like that actually fit is a challenge. Luckily I have been sewing since I was 7 and making my clothes through High School and College. I am lucky enough to have a really nice sewing machine and a husband that doesn't mind me hanging out in the work room several hours. Especially since I'm saving us a couple hundred dollars on the clothes I'm making. :)
Have a great rest of your weekend and remember to be creative! SB
I sat down after a nice walk with my husband to do a bit of doodling. I got out my white card and pen and started laying down my string.
Little did I know at the time that string didn't want to be a doodle. It wanted to be a snail. With just a couple added lines the snail came crawling out and said I need a reason for hanging here with my head down. A rock magically appeared and all was well.
Silly I know. Not correct as far as a 'real' snail would look but, well, It came from my imagination.
Sometimes the pen knows what it's going to draw and I just hang on for the ride and see where it takes me!
Hope you have a great ride in store for you too! Cheers, SB
hey there! Today's post is a bit different. It started as a doodle drawn directly on fabric (white muslin with a small white flower pattern on it) and then handstitched all in black #5 perle cotton. This was all done today (thursday). it's not as detailed as most of my pen doodles but hey, I knew I'd be stitching all those lines!
I'm pretty excited that I took it from just an idea to a completed project in just one day. I am so impatient that I have to be able to do a project from start to finish in one day.
Well, unless it's a big quilt project and then it can take a couple days to piece the top and then another to machine quilt it but that's another story!
Are you the impatient type or the kind that can start and then let it sit for a couple days and come back to finish?
My darling husband and I started our day with a quick bike ride to one of our local fast food places Burgerville. We had lovely Breakfast Bagel Sandwiches. Mine had egg and sausage. I of course had to get strawberry jam to put on it. :) I did my quick sketch after the sandwich was all gone so this is all from my yummy memory.
We go out to the bikes and get ready to leave when Mark sees the innertube of his back tire bulging out. Yikes! Luckily we have the tire pump with us, so, he releases the air, gets the tube back in place and pumps it back up. Thanks goodness I brought my small pack with my drawing supplies or we wouldn't have been carrying the pump!
To home and my next image READERS drawing my glasses. I actually drew this up last night at 12:30 am but I wasn't going to scan it then. But here it is now:
These are el cheapo glasses! only 1x power since I don't need too strong..yet...I never even work glasses until this year. My 44th! Keeping track of them is a challenge. I have a pair at work on my desk a pair in the car and a pair I keep in my art kit. Not pretty but they work.
Finally is my doodle that I did after we got back from breakfast and the ride.It started with rectangles that were sort of floating in the air, then the teacup got put in the middle upside down then the saucer to hold everything up. Finally I filled up spaces with doodles, made the top one have a flap and a tie to keep it closed and I was done!
I have had a creative day and it's just gone 2 in the afternoon! I wonder what else I can get up to?
This evening as my husband was playing on the Wii--doing Mario Kart. I was inspired to doodle some leaves. do you see the influence of the game creeping in?
I know I will end up slowing down on the posting and that I'm in the honeymoon period but it's a lot of fun right now. Cheers! SB
