Hand and foot Doodles

New Year 2013 - Happy New Year to all.  This new day and year inspired my (after finishing Lady of the Garden yesterday) to revert to my favourite activity - doodling!!
I decided that instead of doodling any shape that comes to mind - I need to focus and maybe use shapes that I know. So what better than hands and feet!!  My husband volunteered to be the guinea pig and I promptly traced the outline of his hand on a piece of paper.  I decided to start with his name initial G and from there I doodled along and ended up with this.
I have cut it out as I want to make collage with his face in the background. So watch this space for the final product:)

As if this was not enough on new year's day - while I took many obligatory drips in the pool (it is very hot today) my hubby decided that I need to doodle his footprint as well.   So a quick paint on the bottom of his foot and a print on white paper, I had to think how I was going to do this one. We use grey paint to do the print - wrong choice in hind sight ..... I would use a lighter colour next time.
Anyhow - this is how it turned out.  I decide to use words to bring my meaning across and it is titled:  "Tread lightly on the Earth". Here is a picture - you can see the grey outline of his foot in the background.  I have cut it out and will use it in a collage with the hand.
