One World One Heart - Magnet Giveaway

Hello! I'm joining in on the carpet ride for One World One Heart. OWOH is a giveaway event to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It's a fun chance to visit some fun blogs, see some unique artwork, meet some wonderful people, and maybe win something in the process.

So, let me introduce myself. My name is Gale, and I'm a stay-at-home mom and artist. I like to create what I call "scribbleprints"--artistic designs that start out as scribbles but turn into something else on the way. It's a fun form of art because even when I'm aiming for something specific, to get the scribbly look I have to draw the original outline scribble with a quick loose hand, so the final outcome is somewhat out of my control. Then, with a much, much slower hand I fill in the designs, then scan them onto the computer where I use a graphics program to add color, crop, change shapes, add other elements, etc.

Of course, not all my designs are "scribbleprints." I like to play around with funny and witty designs, mostly designed on the computer. And eventually I will be adding some other artwork. I enjoy doing water colors and black and white sketches and all sorts of other art forms--just haven't added any of that to my shops as yet (with the exception of one butterfly design.

See some examples below:


This work I call Tribal Toes. A lot of people say my
scribbleprints look like fingerprints, and I think
they work well here on these footprints.


This design has special meaning for me,
as it relates to my faith.


This is another favorite of mine.
I re-tweak this often to make designs.


Here's the same design in purple.


This one's not a "scribbleprint."
Sometimes I just like to have fun.
