Coloring is fun and might inspire drawing and doodling. I am intrigued by the books and the designs.
I just look. Most of the books are too detailed for me and I am not really a stay inside the lines kinda girl.
But I did allow myself to purchase a small coloring book at the dollar store. And I used it to inspire doodles.
It is a flower and leaf book. So I looked at:
- the leaves
- the stems
- the petal and
- patterns
I simplified the patterns and then I made a couple of Thermofax screens. The thermofax process is great for small designs that are basically line drawing.
- I made a carbon based photocopy of my drawing.
- Placed it next to the emulsion coated screen
- Ran it through my machine
- Taped the edges and
- Printed on this sack cloth
I did a couple different doodle leaves and then made thermofax screens.
