My family has known for years of my long time love affair with Sharpie markers, so much so that I usually get at least one set for Christmas. I reignited this love this week while working on some doodle type cards to try to find the artist that I hope is buried somewhere within me. I love the look of these cards, and the feel of the markers as the ink hits the page. I might even be a little obsessive about them! Here are some things I have done with my trusty Sharpies this week:
That is just a bunch of doodles in my sketchbook, which I ended up cutting up to turn into other projects.
This is an ATC that I made by collaging some tissue paper with some cut up doodle.
This is a set of inchies from that original doodle, where I colored in the backgrounds with assorted Sharpies.
I had heard sometime back about an artist who was making a journal of sorts in a rolodex. Then on ATCsforall I noticed a lot of people making rolodex pages, so I decided to make some as well. I have done 2 rolodex pages of these Sharpie zen doodles. I am bidding on a rolodex on ebay right now, I hope I win it!

oh yes, I love that whole room done in sharpie!
There's also a plain canvas couch that some woman let a bunch of kids decorate with Sharpie. Also very cool, but I couldn't find the link to send you.
My aunt and uncle's house used to have a tile bathroom that they let us draw on with markers. I always thought that was so cool!
all those doodles look great!:]
