I've been Stalked!






... but don't worry, its a good thing! I've been included in a great collection of fun apple designs. Eclectic and whimsical, Etsy Stalker's apple picks get an A+ in my book. Check out my featured item and the other featured items at http://etsystalker.com/?p=2553
Thanks so much Beatrice and Violet!
Love this Apple Basket design? It is also available as gift tags and is included in two different variety collections. All available in my etsy shop: www.bdoodlez.etsy.com

The Doodle Story

Its been a while since I've featured a Doodle Story, and shared my thought process on one of my designs. This doodle feature is not actually a new design, which is why I think it makes a good doodle story.



My AUTUMN Vibrant Flowers is one of my current favorites in my shop. I love the fall colors that brilliantly "pop" of the page. But this is not the first version of my design. The original vibrant flowers (seen below) used a much different color scheme. With each doodle design taking several hours to complete (between the hard drawing the photoshop editing/coloring) whenever I can "reinvent" one my finished designs with a new color scheme, it allows me to offer a new selection without having to start from scratch.

I wanted to offer an autumn flower selection in my shop and since I loved the playfulness of the Vibrant Flowers design, and the fun black and white hatching in the background I thought it would be fun to give it a new look!


Both the Autumn Vibrant Flowers and the original Vibrant Flowers can be found on sale in my Etsy shop.

Can't decide which version you like better? I'd be happy to create a combo pack of two of each color, just convo me to set up the listing!


Happy Autumn.
