Good day all! I hope you are having a fantastic week.
I am doing well, enjoying the weather as it tries to deceive us into thinking that summer has not left us yet. I welcome its deception for the beautiful warm and sunny days seem to inspire me to create. I have several projects on the go and my fall mantel should be ready to be revealed by the end of the week. In the mean time, I have also been doodling on my dinnerware…
Are you a doodler? I am, and have been since I was a little girl. I used to even doodle on my sheets before going to sleep. I now see the same behaviour in Isabella, who constantly doodles on her clothes, hands and yes, even on her sheets. The artist in me understands, yet the mother in me can’t help but reprimand her actions. I now understand my mother’s preaching and think it’s funny how life replays itself and you end up playing someone else’s role and suddenly, you get it?
As you may recall, I received a package from DecoArt a while back and one of the items in the box was a set of glass markers. It took me less than a minute to go and grab some of my plain white dishes and start to doodle on them. These pens – although called ‘glass markers’ – can also be used on glazed ceramics and porcelain. Once baked, they are dishwasher safe. 
I’m particularly in love with the graphics of dandelions. I have seen them on various fabrics and paintings and while the lines are so simple, they have an appearance of softness and a flowing rhythm. And since we’re talking about doodling, here are some fun facts about doodles. Like everything else I read, I take it with a grain of salt…
Doodles Interpretation

Stars: may indicate optimism and hopefulness.
Houses: may indicate that the person is missing his home, wanting a family, or is wanting to settle down.
Hearts: means the person is suffering from socio-anti-complex-bio-disorder, well, just kidding 
. Simply he is in love or in need of a relation .
. Simply he is in love or in need of a relation .3D shapes: indicates the ability to see the full picture and all aspects of an issue or at least the desire to do so.
Underlined names: underlining a name with one or two lines may indicate that this person is important (whose name is underlined).

Animals: may Indicate love for animals or sensitivity.
Cars, planes, trains: may indicate a desire for traveling ,freedom or the need for a holiday.
Weapons: guns, pistols and swords may indicate competitiveness and the presence of a warrior’s spirit.
I often doodle flowers and vines along with hearts and often times, paisley patterns. What do you doodle, and is what the chart says accurate or way off? I would be so curious to know.
Have fun doodling today!
much love,
Lucy
I drew a simple step-by-step of a dandelion, so you may add to your doodle library….
Those dishes look awesome! I will have to look for those markers!
LOVE your dishes! thanks for the tutorial. I need one of those pens for sure!!
by the way lucy, I meantioned your blog on ours yesterday 🙂 loved that wheat switch so much!
Wow, the ant plates are wonderful I didn’t kmow about the glass pens. Chinagraph pencils, yes, but you hav to fire those in a kiln (I think) Doodling on a plate sounds like a lot of fun.
Yes, I doodle. Mostly flowers, leaves, hearts, the letters C, N, B and A, frogs (?) and puppies..what does that mean? LOL!
i just love those dishes. both the ants and the dandelions. i will have to find some of these pens for sure. looks like lots of fun. and thanks for the dandelion step by step. cheers.
Your doodles are fantastic! You are so creative. 🙂
Oh how I love the little bowl with the birdie on it! Is that your doodle too??
I adore how you have so much fun with things. Doodling is a highly prized past time for me and yes I could see getting into ‘trouble’ with these markers. Not sure how on board the mister would be with doodles on the dishware. Love the ants and dandelion.
Oh, those look cute. I love the little birdy. Did you draw that too?
I’m a heart and flowers doodler…not nearly the artwork yours are. Love the ant plates. How creative and fun that would be for the summer lunches out on the kitchen porch. Take care,
what a fun idea! This would make great personalized girts for people 🙂
I love your doodled dandelion plates and the bowl is so sweet 🙂
I doodle flowers and hearts too, and stars. People, Swirly patterns and checkered doodles are also quite common.

Those glass markers are so neat! I love the dandelions, but Isabella’s bowl is my favorite 🙂
I love the ant plates! I used to do this all the time but lost my paint pens in one of our moves (we are pretty sure the movers either threw them out or stole them as their storage box was empty when I unpacked….) I think its high time to buy replacements! And thank you for reminding about something I used to love to do!!!
these are non toxic, but the warning labels say do not let food come in contact with them – are they safe?
