EP's Disastrous December Doodles

Hiya,

In the spirit of Debby's challenge, I give you the (somewhat?) disastrous December doodles. I borrowed Seejay's approach of doing 12 first and then 11 and then 10 so then it gets less work as I go along.

12 boxes of parts of holly leaves with some zentangle-like doodles inside.

Re: EP's Disastrous December Doodles

9 boxes of doodles. Here is where I broke from the attempted theme of using holiday ideas.

Re: EP's Disastrous December Doodles

oh? oh Ho. A very creative. 12 fun days of Christmas.

A zentangle is a doodle in patterns. A zen-like way of drawing. A tangle of patterns.

Re: EP's Disastrous December Doodles

I don't see a disaster at all. I see a very creative take on the idea. Zentangles and doodles work. Keep going. You are more than half done. The idea is to have fun. Did you have fun? It looks like you did.

Re: EP's Disastrous December Doodles

EP, these are hilarious! They're wonderful! You've taken your elegant lines and interesting boxed layouts to a new height, while some of your ideas are fantastic whimsy. The page of sevens for 7, with pearls in... that just made me laugh. I love the big first ones with the holiday themes too.

Great work and I can see the joke in your calling it "Disastrous," that made me laugh too.
