Traci Bautista's DOODLES UNLEASHED!








IT'S HERE! The coolest book yet on doodling-its off the rails. I am so happy to feature this neat book for my good friend Traci Bautista-I admire her style so much and I have patterned my free letters after her! Heres some samples of crazy sweet letters-check out this Z! Here's a bit about this book-You'll need to have it in your library if you're like me-I was so inspired by this book I sat down and started writing immediately . Just sayin'! Theres so many techniques too.


Doodle, draw, paint and play!
With Doodles Unleashed, you’ll discover wildly new ways to bring doodling center-stage! Traci Bautista teaches you how to use doodling as a meditative exercise, a raw form of expression and a vehicle for telling your personal story. Work with an arsenal of creative tools, from markers, pencils and pens to stamps, stencils, inks and paints, to find unique, intuitive ways to make your mark.

Oh My
What a week-(it seems like a week) its been-I was demonstrating for Sakura at the CHA show in Anaheim. I was demonstrating the new Calligrapher Pen which is yummy-same ink as the Microns-and a really tiny 1.0 tip that rocks. But I saw tons of new stuff and met up with many friends! ( Traci Bautista ( her new book is out! Doodles Unleashed is a must have if you didnt pre order!) , Ruth Rae, Jenn Mason, Bernie Berlin and more!) Saw Jill Berry-go see her website at www.jillberrydesign.com-her first CHA experience-ha! She graciously donated one of her books to me-Personal Geographies and if you leave a comment I will put your name in a hat and give it to you FREE!( Comment by Feb. 14th-Valentines Day!) Ive loaded some pics to the flickr-an also have some NEW PICS of Letterista Style Script which debuted at the Solar Nibs Meeting!
