I started playing around with some old ceramic tiles the other day, just to see how things would work out. My faithful old sharpie wouldn’t cut it. I was getting smudged all over, didn’t look good at all. After some trial and error, I found the pen that worked and this was the outcome. Now I’m thinking these could be mounted and framed. what do you think?

My poor Sharpies were put through the ringer on this one, but I had to do it. As you can see I had to switch colors, because the alkali of the soap kept drying up the pens. That wasn’t going to stop me, I just kept on doodling. I must tell you, I really like the outcome. It may be a bit messy, not a work of art, but it is soap and messes are very easy to clean up.
So if you ever want to wash away the blues, just doodle up some soap.

And not to be totally washed away, and lose site of the fact that we are here to show what doodling is really all about, here’s my original doodle for the day

Another day, Another Doodle. Still going strong at Day 73 and I haven’t missed one yet. While we are in the middle of another Object Doodle week, I have been working on some really cool new stuff, which I can’t wait to show you next week. So stay tuned.
Today the object of choice is soon to change color and I had to capture it before the seasons turn. Everyone these days is going green, so the doodle daily had to jump on the band wagon as well. I give you the doodled leaf.

Going Green

Turn a new leaf
Here’s an original that blends well with the Leaf Theme of the day.

I love the US open, it is such a fun 2 weeks of amazing Tennis. I love the late night prime time matches that always produce such entertaining matches. This year has been no exception. There have been some great matches and what about the upsets. Melanie Oudin, John Isner giving us shocking upsets that make the game so exciting. Safina & Venus out so early…. it’s hat makes the open what it is. So I had to do US Open doodle tribute. I thought about doodling a racket…. nah too boring. Thought about a Roger or Rafa sketch….. better but who would I take on (I may still tackle a couple in time)
So I figured it doodle object week, why not take on the ball….. but thus sucker is tough to draw on. I still think it’s a perfect item for Object week. So in honor of the US Open, here is our doodle object for this Wednesday.

A while back I doodled on a Teabag package while on the phone at work and I threw it up here, just as a joke. People loved it. This past week I figured why not open it up and see if I can mess with the teabag itself. Lo and behold we have the results. My poor Sharpie is going to places it never dreamed it would. Tell me what you think. I promise I didn’t put this teabag back. But like Dee said yesterday with the Banana, I should frame it.

And in keeping with the plan for this week in conjunction with the Object doodle, here is another original Doodle Daily drawing for you to enjoy.

An original Doodle
The start of a new week and as I said yesterday, I went crazy on some everyday objects again. This is becoming dangerous, but lots of fun, I’m scribbling on everything in sight. All this for your viewing pleasure. So please enjoy, I always love to hear what you think.
This one was fun and easier to draw on than I had originally thought.

It is turning out to be a beautiful weekend weather-wise, which is great now, but after Monday the pools close and Summer is put to rest for another year. We all go back into hibernation, waiting for the cold to set in. Leaves are already falling…. Oh well we still have to glorious days of Summer to go.
This coming week I have some new object doodles on display, along with some drawings that I have been stacking up while doing these little side projects.
Here are some hints of what I have in store:

Take a look during the week at how these snippets evolve.
For the pure doodle lovers out there, I am also mixing in some of my original works. I really hope that you enjoy.

A while back I gave you a doodled plate and cup, so why not throw in the flatware. I love this doodled spoon, but it’ s been lying around too long and the artwok appears to be pealing off. So I quickly snapped it.

Then, while I was scrolling through my pics, I found the fork I had done a while back. I’m not so crazy about the doodle fork, but it goes with the flatware.

And then in the midst of everything I felt like a cup of tea…..

You gotta love them doodles. Yesterday was the busiest day on the site, thanks to all those that are stopping by on a daily basis. Now I’m getting mail from folk who are here because the love to doodle, are inspired by doodles are intrigued, are uplifted. I am so pleased that what I am doing is being recognized. The amazing power of the Internet, reaching those with a passion all over the world. Keep coming back and leave comments and feedback, so that I know you’ve stopped by for a quick visit.
Recently I decided the site needed a little face lift. I picked a new WordPress Theme (you gotta love WordPress). This theme gives me more space to play with and more options. Do you see the FACEBOOK page link. Why not become a fan of ours on Facebook. Since “The Doodle Daily” is an offshoot of our parent company “Tjomies Vintage Stationery” the facebook site is tjomies.com, where you will find many interesting things.
So I chose a new theme and I also felt it needed a little color, so I introduced a new banner and background. I would love to hear what you think. so leave a comment or drop me a line through the contact link on the sidebar —–> the one on the left.
That being said, we still need to see the doodles.
For the object doodle today I smoothed out some tin foil (lunch wrap) and gave it a spruce up. Recycle time, let’s not waste.
