I sketched this weeks ago.
Her name would be Astrid and she's a swedish-like girl with deep pink hair, that i'm thinking of rerooting myself. I would be using my new CS as a base, and her scalp for the reroot.
These were just a few outfit sketches too that i'd like to try, but from my experience already, sewing doll clothes is not easy. try try try again.
For my JJL buddies:
When I saw my buddy Karen Blados's zentangle , I was instantly curious *and* inspired! After a quick internet search, this is what I discovered:
The Zentangle® art form and method was created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. Zentangle® is a registered trademark of Zentangle, Inc. Learn more at zentangle.com.
From the website:
"What is Zentangle?
Zentangle is an easy to learn method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. It is a fascinating new art form that is fun and relaxing. It increases focus and creativity. Zentangle provides artistic satisfaction and an increased sense of personal well being. Zentangle is enjoyed by a wide range of skills and ages and is used in many fields of interest.
We believe that life is an art form and that Zentangle is an elegant metaphor for deliberate artistry in life. Explore our web site and learn how you can use this wonderful and uplifting discovery."
There are lovely examples on their blog as well zentangle.blogspot.com/
I have to admit that I haven't taken a course or gone through the workbook and am just winging it after looking through the website. I love the idea of meditative doodling and it's been a very nice way to start the day. I'm a wee bit tempted to become a Certified Zentangle teacher or attend a Zentangle Master Class. [sigh]
See a few more that I've done at my Zentangle set .
After making it up as I went along, I found a Squidoo lens that explains how to make your own zentangle. Why don't you give it a try? ;-)

Thanks, Rosa, for inviting me to share this learning and winging it experience!~
/// I'm not sure think this counts as a Zentangle® anymore.
And, my quilts are more squared-up than this is. You'll have to take my used-to-be-an-engineer-but-still-a-little-obsessive word for it [ahem].
On a damp day in Sydney, nineteen sketchers met in the inner city suburb of Newtown for an Urban Sketchers Sydney event. We immediately headed a block away from busy King Street and scattered in the backstreets, sketching together and in small groups from 10 to 12.30. Then a get together to discuss our sketches and to lunch. I sketched my lunch and also did some on the way there and back.

in October 2004, on our way to Australia, we stopped off for a couple of days in Fiji; this pair of images shows a view from the terrace of our room at a b&b in Nadi, the second largest city in Fiji; one view is a photo, the other is a pen & ink sketch from my sketchbook; they show virtually the same view, although the photo seems to have been taken while I was standing up, the sketch done while sitting down, so that the perspective is somewhat different
I drew a still shot from the Dark Knight when the joker meets the whole mob in the basement of the building and proposes they pay him to kill Batman.
This was very difficult to draw as the background was tough to recreate.
Among my Christmas gifts, this one from my son Gary, was this awesome little book(?), Blank, recycled paper that is truly beautiful, with a wonderful leather cover and a tie to close it up. I intend to turn it into a treasure, with sketches and words of wisdom.

There aren't any restaurants closeby, so I rarely eat out. Instead, here's a peek inside the Bark Bar in Boquillas, Mexico.
