The principle of “Think tiny and daily” at work. (That’s Guidepost number 4 from The Creative Sandbox Way™, in case you’re keeping track! 😊)
🖍
Here are 11 #dailydoodles spread out on my bed. Individually, they’re not that impressive, perhaps, but in a group they start to carry a bit more weight. Now imagine a month’s worth, or a year’s worth. That becomes a body of work. THAT is the power of “Think tiny and daily.”

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Doodlecam, but on Monday I posted one on my blog over at melissadinwiddie.com. It’s part of a series for #ElulUnbound, and will got out via email on 9/2, but you can get a #sneekpeek at http://bit.ly/2zsRFNG right now! 🖍
I talk about how to get over fear of the blank page, how I make my improvisational art, and doodling as a spiritual practice. Oh, and letting my inner 4-year-old inhabit the tip of my pen! That’s KEY! 😊👍
🖍
Check it out and let me know if you try it yourself!

Index card art. Made while listening to @rebekahnemethy’s #artink podcast. (Such a cool concept: each episode is a story based on a piece of art. Check it out! http://bit.ly/33WJdnw)

Happy Wednesday! Happy doodle! 🖍
Abstract doodles are a form of meditation for me. And a form of play. I let my inner 4-year-old inhabit the tip of the pen, and I give her free rein to do whatever she wants, go wherever she wants to go. 🖍
It’s not about impressing anyone, or making money, or winning awards—it’s about pure exploration and “What would happen if..?” (“Ask ‘What if..?’” is Creative Sandbox Way™ Guidepost number 6 😊)
🖍
Improvisation is the easiest way for me to get in that mindspace. Because I’m improvising, and NOT trying to match some platonic ideal in my head, my perfectionist gremlins get confused. They can’t yammer at me that I’m doing it wrong, that I’m not good enough, etc., so they start to bump into each other and wander off. 😉
🖍
At least, I can dream that they do that. 😅
🖍
What helps you manage your perfectionist gremlins? Have you found a style of working that works better for you?
