The current word for The Creative Prompt Project is....... Flower.
After I created the doodle, I decided to see how it would look simplified.
I cut the basic shapes from
wool felt.I used my needle felting tools to meld it all together for a piece that could then be easily thread painted.
I did the thread painting with a layer of stabilizer on the back prior to adding the layer of Timtex.
Stitching very close to the outer edges of the design makes the flower and leaves stand out.
A little "mini"McTavishing finishes off this quick little postcard.

It turned out very nicely.
Beautiful! You know it's good design when it can be translated from one detailed medium to a simpler type and still be strong!
XXOO!

I love your project! Great work!
How do you do your doodling? I have been following your work for a while now and I am just curious.
Have a nice day!
Wonderful, but I expect your projects to be that way from now on anyway. :)
The flower reminded me of the big bull thistles I used to encounter in Minnesota. The flower part was purple with little white fuzzies and the leaves were a rich green.
Fabulous! You are really doing what I had hoped: using the CPP as a jumping off point for other creativity. Lovely work!
If I could have just a wee bit of your talent please....I love wool and know so many who do as well. What a fun thing for me to try as little RAKs.....time permitting of course! Oh...and I couldn't doodle but I mean cut out a fun wool shape and try the post card. :-)
I love the doodle but the felted version is even better. It is so cool. The leaves are the best!
Love the doodle, love the felted version, love your talent -- another winner, Jill.

Jill, you're right! Your doodle looks very similar to the 17th century piece! I really like what you do with your doodling! Just fantastic work for sure!! I agree with Anne's comment on changing mediums!
Well QA another clever idea! of which you have many!! I love your ability to change from pen an ink to fabric an thread.
Your blog is full of great ideas, I love to come over and spend time browseing through all your art such nice work.
Very pretty, and a lovely design that translates well from drawing to textile.
I love what you do with your "doodles". The card is gorgeous.
