Skullies: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I was thinking about drawing a Pumpkin for Halloween, but I wasn't satisfied with it....
So I made two of my other favorite subject: Skulls! [:#

Here in Italy Halloween is a pretty new feast, and we wait for it as another Carnival (which, usually, is in February/March).




HAVE A SPOOKY HALLOWEEN!

Wicked Garden #2 and a New SketchBook

I know that when I find something interesting I can become a little boring.
Here is another Wicked Garden.





Last week I bought a sketchbook. Its cover is made in TAR (petroleum) PAPER.
Yesterday I decided to start drawing on it.
Here is the result:

Made on the back of a menu at work. I find "dead times" at work quite inspiring. :))

Here I am again, after defeating a bad MALWARE that blocked my Pc for two days.
I don't know why lately I'm a little obsessed with hats. This is the second one I made, and a third one is on its way!!





Jo in NZ posted some blank mandala templates on her Flickr Album (click to view them).
Here is my version:

N3 and a Free Download: Recipe Card

I'm not very good at cooking, but I like recipes and in a few weeks I'll be attending a cooking class.
For my Etsy Shop, BlackPumpkin's Messy Studio, I created and sold some recipe cards.
Yesterday I tried to make a handmade one to share with my Zentangles/doodles friends. Just click on image and save on your PC. I'll try to make something better next time. :)

Mother of Darkness - Challenge

It's been quite a few days since my last post.
It has been a bad headaches week, and I could not concentrate on white pages and doodles. :)
Yesterday, I was able to "see straight", and made a Halloween-ish sort of Goddess, the Mother of Darkness.


Today, at work, while waiting for customers, I made my doodle for the World Doodle Challenge (see two posts below) started by The Doodle Daily. Doodles are arriving from many Countries!
Here is mine.

World Doodle Challenge

The Doodle Daily just started a World Doodle Challenge.

The task is easy
1. you need a blank piece of paper no bigger than an A4 or 8.5 x 11 inches
2. the doodle does not need fill the page, the ideal size would be 5 x8 inches or what ever you like.
3. You can use one color or many and the doodle can be done while you are in a meeting, on the phone, watching television, on the train…. anywhere you like
4. The doodle can be of anything, what ever pops into your head. just pick up a pen and draw.
4. The important thing is you must date stamp your doodle
and list which City and Country you are in.
5. If you are travelling you can submit doodles from multiple cities.
6. Scan your doodle or take a photo and e-mail it to me : warren@tjomiesvintagestationery.com
7. I will begin to post the world doodles as I start receiving them (I anticipate it will take a while to kick off, with the first few trickling in)
8.  Your doodles will eventually wind up in a world book, and will be used to support charities.
How cool would it be to unite the world through drawings.
So whip out your pens and get drawing
I will continue to post my doodles every day as an inspiration to you all, but you can draw whatever you like.
So to kick things off, here is my Doodle of the day.

Last year I found this beautiful website called COLOURLOVERS.
There you can create your color palettes and put them into patterns (now you can create patterns, too).
Some examples from my account? Here they are!

Sacred Ceremony

This is a special one, made after one of my worst headaches.
I wanted to call it "Healing", but then I changed it into "Sacred Ceremony". It seemed more fitting.
