As I was completing this doodle recently –
I decided to call it a Moodle. My very own word for a doodle.
I find that I have to be in the right mood to doodle that is why I call it a Moodle. Now I’m not sure what mood this is exactly. Maybe it is when life gets complicated and I need to slow down.
Moodles can be very meditative after all. Maybe I need to moodle when I feel distracted as it helps calm me. Whatever my mood, a good moodle seems to raise my spirits.
What about you, does art help balance your mood?
Happy Moodling! 😄
Excellent! (K)

Wow, this looks great!!! I love to doodle/moodle, but most the time I´m too impatient. Maybe that´s exactly the reason I should doodle more often – to calm down. I think it´s really extremely meditative. Your´s here is really beautiful! ❤️

Thanks Ann! 😊 I find it very calming – especially when I have it sitting next to me in the evening. It keeps my hands busy. 💜

Oh, that´s a wonderful thing! I used to knit in front of the TV to keep my hands busy. Otherwise I´d fall asleep after 2 minutes. 😉 Have a wonderful day!!! 💕

I can’t believe that! Does this happen often? I’ve never heard of this going on so long! Is it just heat you don’t have? Do you have electricity? Did hubby hook up a generator? I’m just dumbfounded that it is going on this long…

We are shocked too. There are several people still without power – no heat or electricity. This is not normal but the storm took down a lot of trees and power poles with it. So we are waiting until they get to our area. My hubby did hook up the generator today so we have some heat. 😊

hehe… you know I’m a fan of coined words, so yay to Moodles I say!! This is a wonderful one too. I think art definitely helps me balance out my mood after a long day. Wine is usually there as well, but I’m going to give all the credit to art! 😉

Fabulous Moodle! I don’t know if art helps me balance my mood, but it does often calm me down because I get absorbed in it and forget what I was stressing about. 🙂

I’m so used to seeing your other styles of art, this came as a shock, but a most pleasant one! So, Aubrey Beardsley, I think. I like it. 😎

Thank you Janina! I had to look up Aubrey Beardsley. You are too kind my friend. ❤️ After completing my moodle, I did see what could be the outline of a woman’s figure. Did you see it too? 😊 This gives me ideas for a future moodle on better paper. 💖😊🌟

Wonderful Moodle! So good to have such a thing in your life, isn’t. Nice to see it at a finished state. Art helps me too sometimes. The other day I used drawing to calm me down, when I had good reason to be very angry. It worked like a charm. But I lost about an hour of from work time to it; which otherwise hadn’t been very productive either, so I just have to accept that…. (which I find hard)

I may have to start learning to Moodle. Maybe it works even better than my own drawing. 🙂

I think that anything creative can be calming. I like doodling/Moodling because I like drawing patterns. It is kind of like putting a jigsaw puzzle together. 😊 Plus doing it in my journal allows me to just play. I think that is when wonderful things happen when we allow ourselves time to play. How about you? I really liked Cat’s class! ❤️

It sounds like drawing really helped you. I think if it can calm us then it is a very good thing – cheaper than therapy! lol! 😊
