Moleskine Doodles: A colourful Tree of Life

Memes, Moleskine Doodles 8:08 pm 274 Words  Respond?

This month’s doodle has been primarily inspired by a very old painting which goes by the same name found in the ancient pre-historic local Hypogeum temples (i really must visit them sometimes, it’s a real shame that i have not yet stepped foot inside …. ha! another thing to add in my list to do this summer, right?). I remember i first heard about its ceilings covered in red ocra spirals when i was 10. At first i was going to leave the sprials just plain black, or having the page half and half … but when i started putting colours in those spirals i just couldn’t stop! i’m currently re-doing another set of pages with the plain black spiral using a better marker than the one i used here. Unfortunately the black marker i used just kept coming off the page and smudging everywhere !!

I’ve also been tagged by Alejandra! It’s such a sweet handwritten meme (i do excuse myself for my rubbish handwriting! hahaha!)

  Wow, even thoiugh that’s a tad bit bright for me that’s really creative. Not to mention inspiring in a cute sort of way.

  Oh and V-N is currently down although I’m working on getting it up and running this coming week. Just so you don’t think I/my hostees died off.

    I’m not the kind of person that likes bright colours much (esp on clothes) – but in art … i really can’t help loving colours!

  Anyway I was saying that i totally have to try that meme out for sure. Gotta look for cute paper big enough for it. those swirls are really neat. I use to doddle them in school… they always came out sloppy.
