I tend to collect dust covered words and phrases like that. Got rather overly fond of sussurous for a while. Used it so much in every day conversations my friends were not quite sure if I was trying to tell them a story or having a stroke.
Thank you, I've been tinkering with that particular poem off and on for years! Started from a dream actually. Woke with the phrase She walks in silvered shadows and knew it belonged somewhere. Just took a bit of exploring to find its home.
I could never master the spirograph. Constantly ripping the paper or fucking up the design. I bought one again a few years ago and it was exactly the same. :/
Were you one of the kids that would print (or cursive) so hard that your pencil would poke through the paper? 😂 I just thought of erasable pens! They smelled weird. Do they still make those? I also remember putting glue (to dry) in the pencil holder space when I lifted the desk lid. I can’t remember what I was making? Fake nails? I can still smell the inside of that desk.
They look like the most gorgeous pubes ever! There used to be an art show on PBS hosted by Sister Wendy and she was ALWAYS goin on about the sumptuous pubic hair in paintings, and I truly believe that she’d love this drawing- for reasons.
PET THE KITTY! My 16 toothless old lady cat would do the EXACT same thing.
I am starting to draw in your coloring book (that I've had for 5 years, this is fine everything is fine). Thank you for letting us into your creative process!
I did a blogspot for awhile, but I'm liking Substack so I'll start on there. Thank you for sharing your stuff. We love you, Sweetie. https://gotthedoodlebug.blogspot.com/
Any post where Giotto makes an appearance gets a thumbs up from me. Yay you for bringing him back to life for me. I don't imagine there's a Giotta Fan Club but if there were I'd be in it!
Very cool circles. I do something similar that I call scroll work.(which I made up before I realized maybe it has a real name but I am kinda attached to what I call it). If I had any clue how to show you I would but I don’t. I do a lot of my doodling in rounds, something in the center with things around it. Not exactly circles but things circling something which turns into layers. I call it close enough for the circle challenge. Lol
I love your circles! I did something kind of similar earlier in the summer and this makes me want to continue on that theme. I think I will work on that this week while body- doubling my kids.
OMG. How do you do it? Gorgeous and riveting, as usual. Thank you for bringing light and levity to an otherwise super stressful day. I feel so much better having seen and read this. xo
Birbs! I wanna colour the circle birbs! I have been so busy this past week with everything BUT art. :( I still have a tiny thing to share but I forgot to take a picture. I'll make that a priority tomorrow... right after i spend 2 hours driving rescued cats from one location to another. 🤪
Thank you for the bonus drawing. And the story about Giotto. I have a BA in Art History and hadn't heard that story. Then again, maybe I had, but I just forgot it. Either way, it was fun to read.
She walks in silvered shadows
chasing the fleeing moon
She wanders among lavender whispers
tracing her fading dreams
She follows her embroidered path
unfurling in widening whorls
She dances with gilded abandon
weaving her growing hope
Incredible. And "whorls" is such an underrated word.

What beautiful words! I feel like they need to be in the center of a cross stich full of flowers...and circles, of course

“I think I am capable of a simple circle!”, I say as I don’t draw a circle but an awkward oval. I need a Spirograph!

Also my experience. But I still bought one for my nephew a couple of years ago. I have never heard how it went, so probably about the same.
😄 I had so much fun with my Spirograph growing up!
I was coming here to say that!
I still have my Spirograph :) It's just as much fun now as it was growing up.
Me too! 😂 I loved using all the different colored pens. Remember the ones that had different fruit smells?
I bought one a few years ago. There are so many options!
I have the perfect doodles for this week's prompt already done. I guess circles were on my mind this weekend, too.

I saw your tiny circles. They made me think about making some myself.

MYOM. Make your own merkin.
I’d love to draw your cat! (With purr-mission, of course) 😺✨
Always!

Your shading is gorgeous!

Love it. And I'm a big fan of body-doubling.

I felt happier just seeing all this. Thank you.
I love the bird drawing so much!! Thank you! 💜
