#DoodlewashFebruary2021 Prompt: Cup and Saucers. Did you know that before handles became popular on cups, hot tea was poured from cup into saucer for cooling and drinking?

Did you know there are 3 theories about the origin of the term ‘Cup of Joe’?
One is that Joe was a term for the common man and coffee the drink of the common man. Another is that other slang terms for coffee, Java and Jamoke, were combined and shortened to Joe. The last is that when Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, banned alcohol on Navy Ships, in 1913, more coffee was consumed. The sailors began calling it ‘Joe’ in reference to the Secretary.

Example done for my Review Mary Roff's Handmade Multi Media Journal.
Recently, I was gifted with a handmade multi media journal from Mary Roff. Each one of her journals is unique, so no one else has one exactly like yours!
Mine has 15 different papers and 42 sheets/84 pages. The Kraft-Tex cover is hand-painted with whimsical flowers. It’s a pleasure to look at and feels fabulous to the touch. That’s not to mention the papers inside, evertyhting from mixed media paper to black watercolor paper to parchment - there’s an amazing variety!

Each stitch is like a breath, a steady reminder, an anchor to the present moment, a tiny step in the healing process that multiplies and gives life. As I worked on tearing the paper to size, folding the signatures, creating the cover, piercing the stitching holes, stitching the binding, contemplating, creating and hand-making the pages of this book it was an opportunity to remind myself that the storm is over—the exact same unspeakable events from the past are not happening in the present even though it often feels like I’m trapped there, unable to escape to freedom. I am still experiencing and dealing with the awful, crippling, devastating, disorienting effects of the storm….and the storm is over. I can’t “logic” my way out of this and I can work to remind myself that the storm is over.
In addition to photography, book binding and art journaling have become deeply meaningful and helpful in my healing process—I am so thankful for the survival, coping and healing found in these moments of creativity.

#doodlewashMarch2022 prompt: Pizza. The Tangled Pizza fish!
Did you know there really isn't such a thing as a pizza fish? However, there are recipes for adding cheese and various item to fish fillets and some people put fish on their pizzas, so the connection is clear! (fish on pizza!!! Yuck! Spit! Spit! Ack!)
This is another piece done in my new Mary Roff handmade multimedia journal. She gave me a list of papers used but not the order, so I'm guessing that this was sulphite or vellum. It's a translucent paper and you'd think the color would slide right off. It does take a few minutes to dry, but once it does the color stays put. The reason there are two photos here is that I drew this on the front and colored it on the back, so I'm showing both sides.

Even though the challenge is for watercolor birds, I went with acrylic this week because I was painting on the cover of a watercolor journal, and felt that was the better medium for it.

Week 5 prompt Psychedelic. I decided to try emulating the oil paintings of Leonid Afremov, using Gellyroll pens in my Pentalic Traveler Midnight Sketchbook.
I was really in the mood to make botanical stamps, for making repeat patterns for my art journaling, or for cards, bookmarks...Lots of fun.
