Pen & paper tangling

This was a bit more than doodling - I started off with pencil outlines and a bit of guidance after reading this post over at Pin Tangle and following one of the links provided.

I think this is a slightly more organised version of my doodling from the other day.

A trial mandala

Created with the aid of a set of compasses and some inspiration from Daisy Yellow.

Drawing

Drawing has, for some reason, eluded me for some time, some would say it has always done so and that I am a doodler.  The time came for me to start again - and if my first efforts are more doodling (with a little direction) then so be it.

My intention here was to just fill the page with pattern and doodle, to reacquaint myself with pen and paper.

A Quartet of Spectacle Cases

At first appearances these seem a little bit of frippery - I needed all of these:

• a case for old trusty I got married in them 6 years ago sunglasses
• a case for my car/sporty sunglasses
• a case for my replacement but not quite the same sunglasses
• a case for M's glasses when he wants to pack light for a long bike ride and I don't want him swiping my glasses case case

 The fancy case took a few nights of hand sewing in front of the TV.  The other 3 were overlocker experiments, one of which involved the piping foot.
