Doodling a mystical cat picture :)
I saw this method of building a picture demonstrated on TV so I thought I would have a go. I took photo's as I went along, just in case it turned into something that I'd want to remember how I did. If you see what I mean. Ha!
I sat outside in a warm woolly jumper, determined not to let my cold make me miss all the sunshine. A mug of hot tea was essential, though!
First draw lines, freehand, too and fro across the paper.
Don't do zig-zags or sharp bends.
Then colour each shape with water-colour pencils.![](http://library.vu.edu.pk/cgi-bin/nph-proxy.cgi/000100A/https/blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPbFVGPjeT_LpW36H5qXR4t9jSy4Hgyefot13-k8ABZGDenQZ0CXx-1us0pV7JadNUildqZY1RRybc4orpqDn6v2MF5oaK6CoVPKwUB8DiR2iyII5y8_70zptZfOZx8aIJrMwew6RyMnc/s400/2008_0831JUNE20090014.JPG)

Now take a stamp and two pieces of coloured paper.
No surprise here... I chose a cat!!!
Stamp your chosen shape onto each piece of coloured paper and cut them out.![](http://library.vu.edu.pk/cgi-bin/nph-proxy.cgi/000100A/https/blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyn3n182hieBLqb05nLQ434LLlLsxdsVaSFjXBnrZhlpKMB8EIURXJpukDYr3r53uhaSS6eRr1WAXQzvp9Ejif0EmnB86L-Qaro2beQe0u-t6VnlEBVoMXUdBQvX5yR0RMSJkxF78Wpqw/s400/2008_0831JUNE20090019.JPG)

Have a look at the background. Any shapes you'd like to highlight? Use glitter, glitter pens or anything you have to hand.... I spotted that a few of the lines had formed a star... I outlined this in glass outliner....![](http://library.vu.edu.pk/cgi-bin/nph-proxy.cgi/000100A/https/blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEiJa74DR8nHIkfnvzSIJcEHpXISUrvyfLezLY-klelJHsI-Ntqqd5CmjL_UgdEoqsD_A5UmXWEPNrpeY-V62OfrqR5WqNnw9XvdFKv9DYHmWjVJfmjB7yI6MsQQGBwmx3KVQs3pHenGU/s400/2008_0831JUNE20090022.JPG)
I went over some of the horizontal lines, too....
Add another quirky stamp somewhere... I chose hearts....

Hey ho!
It filled an hour or two and was quite relaxing to do. I think it would have looked better if it had had a more limited colour pallette. I'll remember that next time! I might crop it, and put it onto a card. Or maybe cut it up into ATC's. What do you think? Why not have a go?
