I've been experimenting with black and white doodle stitching and white canvas. I made these little art squares - cute to use in mixed media projects.I was going to leave them black and white, but decided to paint a little color around them with Neocolor crayons - to which I added a bit of water. I like them.
I stitched up about an 8x10 piece of canvas and cut it up into squares. I can see a journal cover made like this - white cotton canvas with just black stitching and some color painted around the edges. A girl can never have too many journals!

The black & white stitching is lovely and only enhanced by the neocolour shades. Black and white polka dots would look wonderful. Bfn. Lesley
These are cute! Yes, I like the color around the flowers better than all white.
BTW, have fun at your upcoming quilt show.
I like them too. I'm a huge fan of black and white, but that little splash of color is really pretty with these.
I love them. The black stitching looks wonderful and I really like the added color. I bet they would look great on the polka dot fabric!
Keep up the beautiful work! XOX
Love the doodles--they look perfect. Of course, the purple one is my favorite!
Wow Cathie I'm loving the new look around here! It's been a while since I had a chance to just sit and leisurely surf. I think it's hilarious how Samantha consistently wants the stuff you make - quite a compliment, too!
Lovely doodles. Were you inspired by the doodles in the Stitch mag I sent you? They look good with colour. Also agree, a girl can never have enough journals! Hope you have a good week ahead xoxo I was online all afternoon (just in case ...............)
Very fun! I love them.
I love the colors you used!
