Miriam Badyrka is The Doodler

Doodle of the Week

`   Pods. Leaves. It has been a while since I have made a doodle with those elements. That automatically makes this a Doodle of the Week. I like this one. I like the different shapes together with the medallions. It is a very abstract look at a garden.

I usually go through a leaf kick in the early fall when they are all changing colors. Now, they are a sort of brown mush, not individuals anymore.

Leaves are probably on my mind because of the Leaf Fee. It is a long tale, so I won't bore you with it. Let's just say that certain people are really offended by it, and that I find it amusing.

Doodle of the Week

This week's doodle has a whopping 31 medallions. I think that is the most medallions in a large carpet doodle ever, they usually have around 15. I thought this one had a lot so, yes, I pulled a few out and counted.

The patterning takes a back seat to circles in this one.

I like the connecting motifs. I think the horizontal one does a bit to lighten up the right hand side and breaks it up visually. Otherwise I think that the doodle would be unbalanced. All of the visual weight would be on the right hand side.

I have to go. I am late feeding the beasts, and they are about to mug me.
