Curative Clay Doodling

I tried to get something up on Wednesday but fate was not going to let that happen. I have, however, been relieved of my elderly parent watching duties until the end of next week so I should be able to keep up and will try to plan ahead. Plus, I’ll sneak in a little something more over the weekend to make up for that missed day. So look for that by Sunday.

Wall art to cheer the poor souls who have to stay put and convalesce is still on my mind. I do think this lovely Klimt inspired piece by Tammy Durham would be just the thing to add a bit of cheer and a sense of fun to just about any place. I really liked this side view because you can see just how dimensional the piece is as well as getting a bit closer on the detail, at least from this one end.

All the winding trees look like a kind of doodling. I can imagine rolling snakes of clay and just adding whorls and curls, letting the trees grow by instinct. Just a bit of clay doodling which would be great for the artist and almost as much fun for the viewer. You can even see this in the process that Tammy has posted, including a full front view, with a dozen or some images throughout her feed on Facebook.

Inspirational Challenge of the Day: You know what I am going to suggest … clay doodling, of course! Roll snakes, balls, and/or pods of clay. Wind snakes into swirls, squish balls into dots, press pods into leaf shapes, or just whatever you like, and start building your clay doodle on a sheet of clay. Let you mind go and enjoy the process!
