Just posted: Slideshow of my found art doodles

As thanks for all the encouragement and kind words I've received from you all about my found object doodles, I've put together a slideshow of some of the doodles I've done over the past six months.

There is potential art EVERYWHERE. You just need to look. I'm hoping that my doodles encourage some people to look at the world a little differently, to not take so much for granted.

I am working on a mini-site that will include instructions, templates and challenges for young artists to try their own found object art. The URL will be DebbieOhi.com/LookAgain. Right now, this URL points to my post about why and how I do my found object doodles. When the mini-site is ready, I'll redirect the URL.

Thanks again, everyone! And please feel free to share the video.

Doodle: Canine Joy

Quickie doodle in ink and petals from an unidentified flower (from a bouquet).

I love creating found object doodles and post them on Instagram, "Found Object Art" gallery on Flickr, Pinterest, Tumblr  and in my Found Object Art portfolio.

Bird doodle in ink and carnation

I started drawing a flamenco dancer with this carnation bloom but decided to ditch that idea and look for something more unusual. I discovered that a carnation became a perfect bird beak, but only if I photographed it from a certain angle. Which got me to thinking hey, I should try doing more found object doodles from interesting angles, not just from above.

Doodle in ink and petunia

It's raining this morning in Toronto, so I had to shake raindrops off the petunia before starting to draw.

Evening doodle in ink and smoke bush

I love praying mantises (they are so bizarre-looking yet elegant) but have yet to see one in our neighbourhood.
