About a year and a half ago, I randomly picked up a book called Praying in Color and it got me started down a path of praying while basically....er....doodling. I found it to be a great way to keep my mind focused on whatever or whoever I was praying for. Now I find myself pretty much doodling all the time now, even when I'm in a training session for work. It helps my mind not wander and I find that I can better focus on what the speaker is saying if I'm drawing.
I came across this post at Ms. Julie's Place through Semicolon. I was amazed...A kindred doodling spirit...And all these things called zendalas... I'm going to have to give them a try. Here's the video on how to draw them from You-Tube:

Also, here's one of my bizarre praying doodles. I probably worked on this for a couple of weeks. Ellen says if you look closely, some of the faces and little animals are a bit scary. I think she's right.
Also, note Elvis in the bottom left corner! :-)
4 Buzzes...What do YOU think?:
I love your "doodle". It is very interesting in its intricacy...reminds me of the hidden picture thingys with all the faces and stuff.
My doodles are more zendala-like. I will have to try one of those. Most of mine are on post-its (which I trash at the end of the meeting) or in my planner.
Definitely a kindred spirit. Your doodle on this post brings to mind Hieronymus Bosch and his painting style. He often used extremely exaggerated and scary images in his work to explore man's duality between good and evil. The finished versions of these always remind me of Escher too.
Love Big E, by the way.
Thanks for stopping by and for the link.
Keep up the doodles!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have doodled for years and this aspect of it never even crossed my mind. I'm excited about doodling and checking this out now, instead of trying to curb a time consuming habit! Thanks! What a great creative God honoring outlet! It was therapy just watching the video! :) Can't wait to try my own! Thank you
I remember when you taught us this...
