When I was 19, I began a spontaneous doodling s
pree…
I doodled in the corners of margins, on the back of envelopes and on fresh pieces of paper. One day, after completing a larger doodle on its own paper, I stood back to look at the result. Suddenly an image jumped out at me that I had unknowingly embedded into the jumble of lines I had drawn and decorative areas I had developed. What showed up were clouds, a sun and woven throughout, an image of a tribal man dressed in beautiful decorative clothing. All his features were there including his entire body and he danced in the sky among the clouds. I was startled! I had not created this consciously, but rather went with the flow of ink and intuition. Sadly, that piece has long gone missing so I’ve added another Shamanic-like image here.
Many years went by and during that time…
I had stopped doodling, however, on its own, doodling appeared in my life once more as I began to draw again into margins, on envelopes and on fresh pieces of paper. This time, the doodling affected me by allowing me to drop into the intuitive in a more conscious way. I produced a series of doodle drawings that helped me move through a time of deep change. It was as though my subconscious mind rose up to greet me by providing these visual doodle stories.
I began to put together an online course…
So that others might also use doodling to walk through the unwinding of change and evolution in their own lives…..
Doodle/Scribble Online will be available in Spring 2015.
