A childhood memory. Done on an index card. Catching lightning bugs.
Doodling, sketching and photos to provide a view into the world around me.

ICAD 1,2 and 3
I found out about this group from Leslie. (thank you so much Leslie!!)
We simply do art on one index card a day....from June 1 to the end of July. I started "late" and plan to slowly worth through the ones I missed.......
Here are my 1,2 and 3 cards.
ICAD #1 Using Prompt 8: Mandala
Hot pink index card. I am having the hardest time making mandalas....I over think them. So for this one....well, I didn't try to use any particular tangles....just looked at it and drew. This is Micron Markers and a Paper Mate flair marker.
I know it is not necessary to get caught up.....but maybe, since I am retired and home all day....I might be able to work in two a day. Maybe
ICAD #2 Prompt 9 ~ alphabet
Still using neon pink index cards. Why?? Cause in this group I am not stuck with just thinking black and white. <wink>
I wrote the alphabet.....liked we learned it back in the good ol' days. I hear rumors that kids are not going to be taught handwriting in school any more. I wanted to document that "I" like knowing how to do it.
ICAD #3 Prompt 8 ~ paisley
White card, sharpie markers and a wee bit of color pencils. A yin yang paisley.

Day 12....I'm not sure
I admit, it is sort of hard to figure out what she is prompting us to do for the day. I think this one is to do something about spring.
I did this index card for ICAD #3 - that prompt was paisley. Seems like it will work out for both of these. :)

Day 11 - Twinches
Joined a cute group that does 1"; 2" or 3" doodles/tangles. I am working on my first set of Twinches. They are black and white for now....considering doing the background in different colors.
I plan to take individual pictures of each one....and use them when I post how I feel about things n FB. :)

My first RAK doodle
The request was for poppies, anchor or Wizard of Oz. We are making RAKs for a dear lady who's daughter passed away from cancer.
Daay 10
Day 10 - jump in and do something you have wanted to
try.......well.....not sure what to do for this one. Sooooooo, I did a
drawing/doodle for my G-girl1. A dragonfly. Markers, color pencils on my usual index card.
Day 9 - get inspiration from the slide show
Whimsy and Zen put all the week's contributions into a nice slide show. She then asked us to find inspiration from something in the show. I liked the doodle of the hand. Here is my version. "Peace Out" Kind of makes me think of "Little bunny foo foo, walking through the forest....."
Day 8 - add color
I learned to draw a labyrinth. Added blue. Markers, color pencil on an index card.

Heart To Heart
"Heart to Heart"
10x10 on scrap book paper, with a brown pattern.
I have also discovered I totally love to figure out how to weave the parts together.

"Pretty In Pink"
I didn't like this when I first finished it. This is my first real attempt at making paisley shapes. When it was all done, and I could tell it really looked like a flamingo...then it made me smile.
Whimsy and Zen Day 3 - be creative ~ Rainbow Bright
"Rainbow Bright"
9x12 with sharpies
Took over 6 hours to do all the tiny little circles. Whew. hehe

(started late late late on the 31st....finished on the 1st. I can't sleep much lately)
