So, I've been getting feedback on my doodles. I thought these things were fun to draw and to look at, but I have been getting some feedback that people really like them. So, here are a few things I am playing with.

First, I took my two fish and put them on the Baystate Blue, and then on the PR Lake Placid Blue background.

Then I scanned the fish that I am drawing now. I ran out of ink, so this is on hold, although I might ink up the background tonight. The top fish is Kiowa Pecan, middle is PR Spearmint, and the bottom fish is not decided yet. Probably Noodlers Brown.

Pretty soon I will have a lot of fish. I do not know what to do with them!

Wow! Those are great.

I would suspend them in an empty aquarium with pretty rocks on the bottom and a little castle.



If I were the type of person who kept things like around the apartment, I mean.

You'd have an art installation. Ta-daa!

If you drew on both sides and suspended the fish from, oh I don't know, heavy fish string so that the drawings would spin, it would probably look cool but might cause some folks to feel nauseated.

Bravo!

OK I'm being dull tonight. How did you put the fish on the backgrounds? Flipping back and forth looks like the fish are the same but backgrounds are different.

Really neat drawings. I'm giving some inexpensive pens with different inks to a friend so she can play with some pen and ink art. Going to show her your fish too.

The fish are cut out! So, yeah, the fish are the same. Well, that could be confusing too. I have two fish. I cut them out with scissors. I put the two fish on the scanner, then put the blue lines on top. Then I switched the blue lines paper.

It's probably confusing because the partial fish that I scanned are drawn onto the paper and I will draw the blue background around them. Totally different process.

Oh, Thank God, Dog, Higher Power! ... I was going daffy.

Kind of thought/sounded like it was cut out and placed on the other sheets, but the cutout was so perfect, that wasn't making sense. Then wondered if you did a cutout with a computer program... then the unfinished fish. Off into never, never land. Wheels were spinning and not getting a grip.

We have people with such drawing talent, maybe we need a forum for such. I find bits and pieces in Writing Instruments, Inky Thoughts, Paper... and here.

Thanks for opening a new door in my mind.

Start a school. You can be the Head Fishmaster. Nice work!

Very nice! Do some mirror images in different colors, glue to some light cardstock, and then make mobiles. A little fishing line, a few wire coat hangers, wire cutters and a needlenose pliers and *voila*.

Those are very cool! Maybe you could silkscreen the design onto a t-shirt.

You are not the first person who has told me that!

i think they are great and very inspirational I have lots of pages of this now in my journal and just get lost in the creation of them - very satisfying.

I think I would like to see a colour wash over the top maybe rainbow pastels - dunno how one would go about this without 'washing out' original design though unless the paper was colour washed prior to inking.....
