doodlers anonymous

i doodle all the time. mostly letters but sometimes drawings. meetings, class, in front of the t.v. - it doesn't matter - if i have a pen in my hand i'm doodling.

stumbled across this site, devoted entirely to doodling, just this evening.

doodlers anonymous dot com

in any class or meeting i've ever sat through chances are i've doodled my way through it. i can't help it. i try to hide it.

i can't wait for this website to really launch.

Margin Detail is a collection of unrefined doodles by working illustrators and designers including Eric Ellis, Chad Kouri, Jesse Hora, Chris Piascik and Kate Bingaman-Burt as well as other guest contributors. The only problem is… we can’t come to a decision on what defines a doodle! Does it have to be done quickly? Only use one drawing utensil? small? crappy?! All of the above? We just don’t know. So, help us out! 

What do you think a doodle is? Leave your definition here while they fumble their way through finishing the rest of the site for their launch on MARCH 28th.

it's a little late for valentine's day, but i love this so much:



a heart hangs from a paper ribcage. from less than 3.

the other day i brought 7 pairs of pants to be altered. some of the pants are new. one pair i've had since january 2005. yep, i like to take my time.

on the way to back from taking my pants i passed a store with a beautiful terrarium in the window. and now i'm obsessed with terrariums. i want to make one.

i did an etsy search and happened upon this one from made by mavis:

my search also led me to the following, by greenware designs:

greenware designs not only makes the planters, they plant them for you.  i love their stuff.  

the colors in this one are striking:

the DesignKAAS 

site says:

Dutch Cheese with good taste and good looks!

Nowadays the design of products is getting more important, also for food. Since the Dutch are famous for it`s cheese and it`s Dutch Design, Marinde van Leeuwen (food) designer) decided to combine those two in Dutch Design Cheese.

also, notable:

We pay fair prices to the farmers and 10% of the profits is donated to a good cause. Dutch Design Cheese supports Dutch foundations that protect the typical Dutch nature (landscapes with dikes and windmills) and the typical Dutch crafts.

it's been a little while.
