These cuffs, all made from plain fabrics from my stash with different textures and machine-quilted, will be in Reverse Garbage's Christmas exhibition in Brisbane. The grey one is my favourite - it's wool and silk.

Doodle
A doodle is an unfocused or unconscious drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be abstract shapes.
Stereotypical examples of doodling are found in school notebooks, often in the margins, drawn by students daydreaming or losing interest during class. Other common examples of doodling are produced during long telephone conversations if a pen and paper are available.
Popular kinds of doodles include cartoon versions of teachers or companions in a school, famous TV or comic characters, invented fictional beings, landscapes, geometric shapes, patterns and textures.
Etymology[edit]
The word doodle first appeared in the early 17th century to mean a fool or simpleton.[1] It may derive from the German Dudeltopf or Dudeldop, meaning simpleton or noodle (literally "nightcap").[1]
The meaning "fool, simpleton" is intended in the song title "Yankee Doodle", originally sung by British colonial troops prior to the American Revolutionary War. This is also the origin of the early eighteenth century verb to doodle, meaning "to swindle or to make a fool of". The modern meaning emerged in the 1930s either from this meaning or from the verb "to dawdle", which since the seventeenth century has had the meaning of wasting time or being lazy.
In the movie Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Mr. Deeds mentions that "doodle" was a word made up to describe scribblings to help a person think. According to the DVD audio commentary track, the word as used in this sense was invented by screenwriter Robert Riskin.[citation needed]
Effects on memory[edit]
According to a study published in the scientific journal Applied Cognitive Psychology, doodling can aid a person's memory by expending just enough energy to keep one from daydreaming, which demands a lot of the brain's processing power, as well as from not paying attention. Thus, it acts as a mediator between the spectrum of thinking too much or thinking too little and helps focus on the current situation. The study was done by Professor Jackie Andrade, of the School of Psychology at the University of Plymouth, who reported that doodlers in her experiment recalled 7.5 pieces of information (out of 16 total) on average, 29% more than the average of 5.8 recalled by the control group made of non-doodlers.[2]
Alexander Pushkin's notebooks are celebrated for their superabundance of marginal doodles, which include sketches of friends' profiles, hands, and feet. These notebooks are regarded as a work of art in their own right. Full editions of Pushkin's doodles have been undertaken on several occasions.[3] Some of Pushkin's doodles were animated by Andrei Khrzhanovsky and Yuriy Norshteyn in the 1987 film My Favorite Time.[4][5]
Notable doodlers
Nobel laureate (in literature, 1913) poet Rabindranath Tagore made huge number of doodles in his manuscript.[6] Poet and physician John Keats doodled in the margins of his medical notes; other literary doodlers have included Samuel Beckett and Sylvia Plath.[7] Mathematician Stanislaw Ulam developed the Ulam spiral for visualization of prime numbers while doodling during a boring presentation at a mathematics conference.[8] Many American Presidents (including Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton) have been known to doodle during meetings.[9]
Some doodles and drawings can be found in notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci.
This was started for TAST2012. I saw a face in my scribble so decided to go with it. Used French Knots to trace the scribble now I will be working to fill it in completely with French Knots,
This is my friend Christina and her dog Scribbles. Christina raised Scribbles since he was just a puppy, she was even there on the day he was born. They have a very special bond. In 2009, Scribbles went blind and in 2010, he was diagnosed with kidney disease. About this time, Christina graduated from MSU and was planning to move to Washington, D.C. She was faced with a tough decision. Take Scribbles with her, or leave him behind with friends in Michigan who have a farm? She chose the latter, believing his quality of life would be better in Michigan than in a big city like D.C.
When Christina told me she was coming back to visit Scribbles last fall, we planned a special day out and photo shoot. As Scribbles' heath continues to deteriorate, I thought it would be nice if she had a record of what might be one of their last visits together. I was touched by Scribbles' obvious love for Christina, and how excited they both were to be together. Scribbles knew exactly who she was, and even though they haven't been in contact for months, it was as if they never left each other's side.
