ZenDoodles on Tote Bags

I've been tinkering with mediums other than paper ... zendooding on canvas tote bags. All four designs were copied from previous drawings with minor adjustments to accommodate the size of the bag, the texture (the fabric really soaks up the ink and I can't achieve as much contrast as when working on paper), and sometimes I just wanted something different.

Bags two, three, and four have been sold! My head is full of ideas for the upcoming holidays ... maybe I can make some money to pay for Christmas!

I haven't done a lot of gelli printing and what I have done is either still hanging to dry, sitting in a box, or providing a background for ... yes, even more doodling/zentangling. Here are four examples of the befores and the afters. 

Where in the World is Saidfraz?``

It's been six months since I last made a blog entry. I haven't been sitting idly at home doing nothing, nor has life been too hectic or out of control. I've just been focused on different things. I've continued to pull gelli prints and doodling/zentangling is an every day occurrence. I've posted photos on Flickr, Pinterest, and Instagram, and recently I added a page on Facebook showcasing my drawings. Now that summer is winding down I've decided to dust off the old blog and bring in some fresh work. Before I do that I want to share some of what I've done over the last six months. So, if you follow me on the fore mentioned sites you might want to ignore the rest of this post. Going forward the plan is to post regularly and not bombard you with a crazy amount of photos.

I hope you enjoyed looking at these and maybe even found some inspiration for yourself. 

Check back, 'cause there's lots more to come.

Recently I was visiting my mother and she gave me a sack full of my grandmother's old scarves, handkerchiefs, and crocheted doilies. My mind is swirling with the possibilities of these babies!

These two prints are part of new series using the fortunes saved from my fortune cookie stash

I haven't posted in ages ...

so I'm just going to throw up some photos of what's been keeping me busy. 

Yes I've been a doodling, zentangling fool. 

Blast from the Past

I found a painting of mine stashed away in a box. I didn't sign it but I think it was done in the late 80s/early 90s.
