My doodlin' dictionary


In a previous post I had mentioned a book that I enjoyed doodling in while
"watching" TV.
The book is almost full and I have had it in my mind that a dictionary would provide
an interesting background for my doodles,
 and I might increase my vocabulary in the process.
I headed off to our local Goodwill Bookstore in search of the right dictionary.
I needed to be the right size and the paper had to "feel" right.
I found one published in 1984...right size and right feel.
Bingo!
It came home with me and was immediately dressed in Duck Tape
I then glued pages together to give them more body and to reduce bleed thru.

My doodlin' dictionary and I are ready for a test drive.

That's a great idea for a doodle book. I know what you mean about getting the right paper, I've bought notebooks that just haven't felt right..so to find a book you love to use is great.

Great idea, Susan. Nice way to use an old book, too, that nobody really wants.

Your doodling is a work of art. I like this idea of using the old books.

I love that you reused a book, instead of buying a brand new one! I can never sit down to watch tv, either..have to be doing something or I fall asleep! lol
