I've decided to document my patterns in a journal so I can have them to refer back to. Some will be my own designs and some will be patterns I've seen around the world. I'm not sure why I've not done this before but I think it will be such a helpful tool to have. I have a few photos above of the first few patterns that have been officially documented and also photos of my completed portraits. I did add the black in the background to my family portrait and I'm happy I did. I do believe it pops off the page having that contrast.

You are right! Your images really do come alive with the black background. You are also very, very organized. Great idea to document the zentangles.
ReplyDeleteYour portraits are fabulous and when you get your doodle designs all recorded, if you decide to sell the patterns, I would love to buy a set!!
ReplyDeletei LOVE your family portrait!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL & inspired idea!
& also, great practical idea to
record your patterns!
(dear one, this week i've scheduled
to post a couple "patterns"...
just sisterhood-sweet timing!!)
lots of love!
What a good idea and very organised! I need to get more organised...
ReplyDeleteLove your family portrait, Rebecca! The black background really sets things off so well. What a great idea do document your doodles and patterns. It's sure to be a handy reference guide! Hugs, Terri xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea. And I'm such a geek for libraries, categories and taxonomies, I think it would make a great book of it's own.
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea, It is hard to come up with patterns and I would do well to follow your example and document. Lovely portraits!
ReplyDeletevery good idear
ReplyDeleteOkay, now this is sooooo working for me!
ReplyDeleteI love the organized 'doodle reference guide' you are creating....I think it's a fabulous idea and I just might have to start my own!
It's really amazing how easy it is to forget how to fill in a white space with varying doodles when you're in the middle of a drawing....and I actually go back and pull out older works just to see and remember...but how much better, faster, easier and more creative is it to have booklet!
Genius......right back at ya woman!
ciao bella
btw...i adore the black background, really does finish it off nicely!

You're so neat and tidy, I love looking over your shoulder at your doodle documentary!! You inspire me!! Love the black in the background! It looks fab-u-lous!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea and the family portrait!
ReplyDeleteIsn't this a great idea - I forget where I saw this (some other blog) and I think I am going to do the same thing. It is really helpful. right now I just look at previous pieces I've done. Having a catalogue of doodles will be so helpful!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE how your family portrait turned out! Fabulous!!!

ReplyDeleteYou have been a very busy little bee! I think it is an awesome idea for you to track your doodles because you have so many patterns in your brain it is a great idea for you to put them into a reference book! I love the feathers! Your family portrait is so beautiful! You could definitely make a living doodling family portraits! Phenomenal your talent little missy! Thanks for sharing with us!
what a great idea, Rebecca. That's a great point for reference. I should do that with colors!
ReplyDeletelove the black background.
